Last year, Lawline.com was a finalist for the New York Enterprise Report's the Customer Service award for its reputation on treating customers with respect, dignity, and care. The company now has another achievement to showcase its philosophy on the practice of serving others: one of New York State's best companies to work for.

On Wednesday, April 21, the Best Companies to Work for in New York program ranked Lawline.com the eleventh top small/medium sized employer in the state. President David Schnurman, who created the online Continuing Legal Education company in 1999, accepted the award in Albany, New York, on behalf of his company.

“Our greatest assets are our employees," Mr. Schnurman states. "We strive to provide them with what they need to excel, and in return we believe that this maximizes their potential."

The award consisted of a two part assessment: an employer survey regarding benefits, policies, practices, and other general data (25 percent of the total assessment), and a confidential employee survey evaluating the employees' workplace experience (75 percent of the total assessment).

Mr. Schnurman and Lawline.com add this accomplishment to their growing list of recognitions, namely its recognition in customer services and features in such publications as Crain's, Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc. and The Wall Street Journal.
