The survey was conducted in August, and was sent via e-mail to
readers of The Legal Intelligencer. The ballot consisted of over
50 categories encompassing legal support, business, and lifestyle
products and services. Hundreds of our readers took the time
to participate and voted not only for the companies listed in the
survey, but added a significant amount of write-ins as well.
We thank everyone that participated in the survey. Your choices
for The Best Of 2012 are reflected on the pages that follow, with
a listing of the top three vote getters in each category. If you do
not see your favorite firm listed this year, please make sure to
vote next year. We will continue to work on ways to improve this
program and we welcome any feedback.

US Claims helped us
save our house.
While our lawyer was fighting to get the settlement we deserved, we couldn’t afford our bills –
and were at risk of losing our home.
US Claims helped us and they can help you too.

Cracks Grow
When Property Is
Not Managed Well
Back in 1885, the City of Philadelphia
began lending the already-cracked
Liberty Bell to various expositions
and patriotic gatherings. In 1915, the
City realized they needed to manage
this property better and refused
further requests.
We realize your property is precious.
With over 20 years of professional
experience, the founding partners of
Pine Management Group have the
prerequisites to manage your asset.
Give us a call at 215.360.5911 or visit us at
