McCully Earns Spot In National ‘Best Lawyer’ List for 16th Year

Lafayette, Indiana -- May, 2003 -- Thomas R. McCully, partner in Lafayette’s Stuart & Branigin law firm, has again been named one of "The Best Lawyers in America." He has been listed in the 2003/2004 Best Lawyer’s directory, has been listed every year since 1989, and is one of only 5,787 lawyers nationwide who have been listed for 10 or more years.

"Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review and because lawyers are not required to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion should be--and is--considered a singular honor," said Steven Naifeh, editor-in-chief at South Carolina-based Woodward/White Inc., publisher. Those selected are chosen from surveys of 15,000 leading US. attorneys.

A 1963 graduate of Wabash College, McCully earned his law degree with distinction in 1966 at Indiana University and has been practicing with Stuart & Branigin ever since. He is a member of the Board of Visitors of the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington and is a past president of the Alumni Association. He is listed under his speciality of real estate, but also practices in the areas of health care and employment law.

Locally, he is on the Board of Directors of Lafayette Savings Bank and Junior Achievement of Greater Lafayette. He has also served on the board of Legal Aid Corp. for 22 years and was the recipient of the Pro Bono Publico Award from the Indiana Bar Foundation in 1995.

A full-service firm with offices in Lafayette and Indianapolis, Stuart & Branigin LLP has been providing legal services since 1878. Today, the law firm’s staff of over 30 lawyers provides legal representation in diverse areas including civil litigation, taxation, estate planning and administration, transportation, construction, environmental, banking, healthcare, immigration, intellectual property, international law, labor, employment, real estate, securities, finance and educational institutions law.
