We’re not tooting our own horn. Our peers voted us an orchestra.

According to our peers, LLG’s team of passionate, purposeful attorneys is one of the best around.

The results are in about LLG’s team. It features two “Lawyers of the Year” – Joseph S. Goode and Mark M. Leitner, six attorneys named Best Lawyers in America, and three others up and coming – deemed the “Ones to Watch.”

Best Lawyers administers an evaluation process of lawyers around the globe by their peers. Its methodology is robust:

Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Our methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical region and legal practice area. Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational, and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services. Our belief has always been that the quality of a peer-review survey is directly related to the quality of its voting pool.
