2014 Top One Percent

Out of more than 900,000 attorneys across the country, less than 1% percent received this prestigious designation.

Mr. John B. Whalen, Jr., Esq. has been honored for excellence as one of North America’s Top Attorneys, an award for continuous professional recognition – an accomplishment realized by the Top 1% of American Professionals.

Lawyers recognized for excellence have remarkable professional accomplishments, great peer evaluations and more. Over 1 million North American lawyers work in businesses, government, and privately in solo practices and firms, large and small.

Of the very small percentage of lawyers who are ever publicly recognized for excellence, just a handful have been selected as a North American Top Attorney.

Mr. John B. Whalen, Jr., Esq. is considered to be one of the best and has achieved this hard-earned recognition.
