Studstill Firm honored

VALDOSTA — The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys has recognized the performance of Studstill Firm, LLP as exceptional.

The law firm has been named two years running as one of the 10 best personal injury law firms for client satisfaction, according to an organizational press release.

The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys is a third-party attorney rating organization that publishes an annual list of the top 10 personal injury attorneys in each state. Attorneys who are selected to the “10 Best” list must pass AIOPIA’s rigorous selection process, which is based on client and/or peer nominations, thorough research, and AIOPIA’s independent evaluation. AIOPIA’s annual list was created to be used as a resource for clients during the attorney selection process, according to the press release.

One of the most significant aspects of the selection process involves attorneys’ relationships and reputation among his or her clients.

“As clients should be an attorney’s top priority, AIOPIA places the utmost emphasis on selecting lawyers who have achieved significant success in the field of personal injury law without sacrificing the service and support they provide,” according to the press release. “Selection criteria therefore focus on attorneys who demonstrate the highest standards of client satisfaction.”
