Craig Scott was recently honored by the BTI Consulting Group of Wellesley, Ma as one of 113 attorneys from 93 law firms as a 2007 Client Service All-Star.  BTI interviewed more than 250 corporate counsel at large and Fortune 1000 companies with in-depth research probing all aspects of client relationships. This elite group was singled out, unprompted, as delivering the absolute best client service.

BTI research with key decision makers shows 3 themes driving outstanding client service performance:

1.) Deep understanding of the client's business
2.) Focused, practical advice that is responsive to the issues at hand
3.) Attorneys who put the client's need ahead of their own

Craig is the only attorney from the State of Rhode Island who was honored with this distinction.
