Biz Bites: Elmira attorney named to top 1 percent

The National Association of Distinguished Counsel named Elmira attorney Adam Gee of the Ziff Law Firm a member of the Nation's Top One Percent for 2015.

Gee was selected by an independent panel of attorneys and approved by an NADC review board because of his high legal standards, Ziff Law Managing Partner Jim Reed said in a news release.

Once candidates are nominated, NADC researchers study their background and performance and pass on their recommendations to the panel for review. The panel makes its selections for a board of former judges to review and approve.

Gee devotes his practice to representing people injured through the actions of others and medical malpractice. A motorcycle rider himself, he represents many bikers. Gee has been an attorney for 18 years and has been with Ziff Law since 2004.
