Burlington, NC, October 24, 2011 – The Vernon Law Firm is pleased to announce the  inclusion of Wiley P. Wooten in the 2012 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the practice of Family Law.

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 41,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.9 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys inpractice.”

Upon hearing the news of his selection to The Best Lawyers in America® Wiley P. Wooten, Esq., Shareholder and Director, commented, “At Vernon Law, we are committed to delivering excellent legal representation to every client we serve.  I am proud and honored to be listed in this well respected publication.”

Vernon Law, founded in 1933, has been assisting clients with their legal needs in Alamance County and throughout the Burlington-Greensboro area in North Carolina for over 74 years.  The attorneys at Vernon Law are licensed to practice in North Carolina and in federal courts, and together they represent over 220 years of combined legal experience.

Vernon Law attorneys have been leaders in the legal profession and in the Burlington-Greensboro North Carolina community, holding office as President of the North Carolina Bar, President of the Alamance County Bar, and Clerk of Court of Alamance County, as well as many other positions of civic and business leadership.
