Best Lawyers® Recognizes Our Attorneys

  • Firm Accolades

August 17, 2023 - Best Lawyers® has recognized firm partners James W. Spertus, Samuel A. Josephs, and Tony Brown as top lawyers in their fields. Best Lawyers® has also recognized firm counsel Amanda R. Farfel by including her on its “Ones to Watch” list. Honored in the 2024 publication of The Best Lawyers in America®, these attorneys were selected based on a rigorous peer-review survey, which makes recognition in this year’s edition a reflection of talent in the industry.

Individual recognition was awarded as follows:

James W. Spertus: Criminal Defense: General Practice; Criminal Defense: White Collar

Samuel A. Josephs: Criminal Defense: General Practice; Criminal Defense: White Collar

Tony Brown: Criminal Defense: White Collar; Appellate Practice

Amanda R. Farfel: Alternative Dispute Resolution; Appellate Practice; Commercial Litigation

In this landmark 30th edition of the Best Lawyers® award, only “around 5% of all lawyers in the country” were selected by their peers for inclusion. The award spans four decades of ranking “the top legal talent in the country since 1983 at no cost to clients or the awarded lawyers.”
