The firm also stands high in the eyes of its peers in the legal community. This respect was shown when John S. Stevens, a former state legislator, was asked to serve as president of the North Carolina Bar Association in 1995-1996. A story unfolds in which the client wished to acquire some property, but the purchase had become mired in a series of complications. He coordinated efforts with two other attorneys from the firm who specialize in corporate law and real property. Together, the lawyers tackled all aspects of the transaction in order to move it toward a swift resolution.
