We are excited to share that four Cross Glazier Reed Burroughs, PC, attorneys have been named to the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America for their work in Family Law!
Unlike many industry honors, Best Lawyers relies entirely on input from fellow attorneys. The organization conducts extensive peer evaluations to determine who stands out in each legal market, and lawyers cannot pay to be listed. Because of this rigorous standard, only about 5% of practicing attorneys across the country earn a spot.

Facing family legal challenges – whether it is a high-asset divorce, complex property distribution or child custody arrangements – requires strong legal knowledge and genuine empathy. At Cross Glazier Reed Burroughs, we take pride in guiding our clients through these sensitive life transitions with clarity and confidence.
