I am pleased to share the public announcement that you have been recognized by your peers in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for your high caliber work in Litigation – Labor and Employment, Employment Law – Individuals, and Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. We are proud to include you in this esteemed group.

Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based on a rigorous peer-review survey. For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers has been regarded—by both the profession and the public—as the most credible measure of legal integrity and distinction. As such, recognition by Best Lawyers symbolizes excellence in practice.

Our founding principle remains unchanged since 1981 and forms the basis of our transparent methodology: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are. As always, no fee or payment to participate is allowed. Consequently, as a Best Lawyers honoree, you possess the elite privilege to participate in our exclusive voting process for next year’s edition.

Best Lawyers increases visibility of your recognitions to referring lawyers, worldwide counsel and clients of legal services through our partnerships and publications.

We are honored to include you as one of our distinguished colleagues.
