Josh Howard and Joe Zeszotarski were named to North Carolina Super Lawyers Magazine for 2016 in the area of Criminal Defense: White Collar. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year, fewer than 5% of practicing lawyers within a state receive Super Lawyer recognition. Super Lawyers determines their selections through a patented process consisting of independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of the state's top attorneys.
After two and a half years serving on the State Board of Elections, Chairman Josh Howard will step down effective January 1, 2016.
