Hartzog Conger Cason & Neville has been named to the prestigious "Chambers USA: Guide to America's Leading Business Lawyers." Chambers highlights the country's top law firms and attorneys. HCCN is listed in the 2008 edition in the areas of corporate and commercial law, tax, energy and natural resources and litigation.

Eight partners of the firm were listed individually as among top U.S. lawyers in their respective areas of practice: Len Cason, corporate/commercial tax; Laura McConnell-Corbyn, litigation; Steven C. Davis, corporate/commercial tax; Edmond resident Charles E. Geister III, litigation; Richard B. Kells, corporate/commercial tax; Drew Neville, litigation; Armand Paliotta, corporate/commercial; Edmond resident David E. Pepper, energy and natural resources.

Chambers USA describes HCCN as "traditionally recognized for its strength in litigation, with a corporate and securities practice which is a significant player on the Oklahoma legal scene."

The guide ranks top law firms and top attorneys on their merits and includes descriptions that frequently quote the peers and clients interviewed. Firms are evaluated for their technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by clients.

Standings in the guide are derived from the more than 10,000 interviews Chambers conducted for the 2008 U.S. edition. Firm rankings and editorial comment about attorneys are based solely on the research team's findings.
