Andrew Ramirez, a Lawrence resident and partner in the Overland Park office of Lathrop & Gage, appears in The Best Lawyers in America 2007, a legal referral guide.

Attorneys appearing on the list are determined through a year-long survey, in which attorneys nationwide vote on the abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. More than 1.8 million confidential evaluations were used to compile this year’s list, which recognizes professionals deemed to achieve legal excellence. Because listings are based on the votes of other lawyers and cannot be bought, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a professional honor.

Ramirez serves as general counsel for Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
