SACRAMENTO, September 9, 2005 – This year, Gaming Law attorney Harlan Wayne Goodson of Holland & Knight’s Sacramento office has been named by his peers to the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America® 2006 for delivering the highest quality legal services possible. A total of 171 lawyers from 22 of the firm’s offices are included in the new edition. Holland & Knight lawyers included in the list represent 38 practice areas.
Widely regarded as the definitive legal referral guide in the United States, Best Lawyers is based on a peer-review survey in which leading attorneys nationwide rate the top practitioners in their specialties.
