Best Lawyers® 2020 Announcement

August 15, 2019

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Almost 87,000 industry leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and we have received almost 10 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world. For the 2020 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, 8.3 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 62,000 lawyers, or approximately 5% of lawyers in the private practice in the United States.

We are excited to announce that three members of our panel have been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America© 2020 list:

  • Jeffrey Stern has been selected as the recipient of the 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” in the field of Arbitration. Jeff was also selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers™ in the United States 2020 in the field of Mediation.

  • Brad Honoroff and Joel Reck were both selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers™ in the United States 2020 in the field of Mediation.

  • All three, Brad, Joel and Jeff, have been recognized by Best Lawyers since 2006!
