Brunini is honored to have many of our attorneys recognized in the 2022 Edition of Best Lawyers of America. Recognition by Best Lawyers of America is based entirely on peer review. Best Lawyers of America employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services.
Additional recognitions are also awarded to individual lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.
Best Lawyers of America’s “Ones to Watch” category recognizes extraordinary lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years in the United States. This award is also based entirely on peer review.
We congratulate the following attorneys for their hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence.
