Best Lawyers, a peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the legal profession, recently recognized local lawyer Terry Hutchens as one of the Best Lawyers in America. Lists compiled by the publication are held in high regard as the lists are compiled based in peer-review surveys where thousands of lawyers nationwide evaluate each other; this year’s edition was based on 9.4 million evaluations. A highly coveted spot on the list cannot be bought.
The listings from Best Lawyers are published worldwide in over 70 countries, and the latest edition includes 67,000 attorneys in 148 practice areas.
To stay on the list, lawyers must maintain the same number of votes for each edition. Hutchens has been selected to be included in the Best Lawyers list for Mortgage Banking Foreclosure Law since 2010. Hutchens is the managing partner of Hutchens Law Firm, which he started with a staff of five in 1980. Over the past 40 years, the firm has grown significantly, having offices across the Carolinas.
Hutchens “concentrates his practice on matters pertaining to default services and real estate including development, finance, liquidation, and litigation,” according to the firm’s website.
