The Best Lawyers in America®
To be listed in Best Lawyers®, a lawyer must be nominated by a client, another attorney or a marketing team. The lawyer’s peers then vote based on whether they would refer a case to a nominee if they could not take a case themselves. Our firm’s founding attorney, Brad Koffel, has been voted as one of the “Best Lawyers in America” since 2008.
