NEW ORLEANS, LA, September 25, 2020 - Sher Garner Cahill Richter Klein & Hilbert, L.L.C. is pleased to announce that 22 lawyers have been included in the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America, and 4 lawyers were named Lawyer of the Year.

Sher Garner's 2021 Best Lawyers "Lawyer of the Year" list includes John T. Balhoff, II (Mortgage Banking Foreclosure Law), Elwood F. Cahill, Jr. (Real Estate Law), Steven I. Klein (Nonprofit/Charities Law) and Leopold Z. Sher (Land Use & Zoning Law).

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the "Lawyer of the Year," making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries.

Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in America list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing. Sher Garner is proud to have its lawyers included since the 2006 Edition of Best Lawyers, 15 years!
