The “Best Law Firms in America” are chosen through a rigorous evaluation process that includes client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in each field and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. To be eligible for a ranking, each firm must have at least one lawyer who is listed among the “Best Lawyers in America.” After this thorough selection process, only a select number of firms received first tier national and/or metropolitan rankings.

“It is always an honor to be named as one of the ‘Best Law Firms in America’,” said Michael D. Cooke, managing partner. “We strive to provide experienced and dedicated counsel to our clients and to be recognized in so many practices areas is a testament to our attorneys.”

The first-tier rankings are featured in U.S. News & World Report’s Money Issue and in the “Best Law Firms” stand-alone publication, as well as on its website and bestlawfirms.usnews.com. This year marks the sixth edition of this highly anticipated annual analysis.
