Scott Feringa was recently selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2011 in the field of medical malpractice and product liability litigation. Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice." (Copyright 2010 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.).

Scott is a regular speaker at national and regional symposiums in various subject matters, including health care law, products liability and ski area litigation.

Scott's outside interests include skiing, sailing and fly fishing.
