This is the second year in a row that he has had the honor of landing on this respected list of outstanding attorneys.

The 11th annual Best of the Bar section of the Kansas City Business Journal recognizes those outstanding attorneys throughout the Kansas City area that have been chosen by their peers for professional excellence. The honorees for 2012 specialize in dozens of different practice areas from 119 law firms and solo practices throughout the metro area.

The process is begun when lawyers throughout the greater Kansas City area cast their votes for the candidate pool. These attorneys are encouraged to look beyond their own law firms and none of the attorneys are allowed to create a list that is based on votes for strictly his or her law firm or colleagues.

The list of top votes is carefully reviewed by a panel of accomplished local lawyers as the last step and final check of the candidates’ reputations and good standing in the professional community. The final published list provides a list of some of the premier lawyers in the Kansas City legal community and it is intended to be used as a reliable and credible resource of competent attorneys for anyone searching for high quality legal services.

The lawyers that have been highlighted on the Best of the Bar lists have built solid reputations throughout the community and won broad support and respect from their fellow peers. Attorney Matthew D. Meyerkord was honored to have landed on this list for the last two years in a row.
