The criteria used to assess candidates involve professional accomplishments, verdicts and settlements, bar and community activities, experience, and more. Selection is limited to no more than the top 5% of attorneys in each state, making Super Lawyers recognition a meaningful indicator of exceptional legal ability and reputation.

Ed built a respected practice centered on business litigation, real estate disputes, construction matters, personal injury, and consumer protection litigation. His selection for Super Lawyers every year since 2019 reflects his effectiveness in handling complex legal issues and his standing among peers across Western North Carolina.
