The firm is proud to announce that seven of its attorneys have been recognized on the Best Lawyers in America lists for 2026 for outstanding work in several distinct practice areas.
The legal guide, which was first published in 1983, relies on peer reviews and independent research to spotlight the top 5 percent of practicing lawyers in the nation.
The firm’s Best Lawyers honorees, with their cited practice areas, are:
- Andrew B. Sommerman — commercial litigation and plaintiff’s personal injury litigation
- Sean McCaffity — commercial litigation and bankruptcy and creditor debtor rights/insolvency and reorganization law
- George A. Quesada — plaintiff’s personal injury litigation
- Laura Benitez Geisler — plaintiff’s personal injury litigation
- Alfred W. Ellis — plaintiff’s personal injury litigation
Two firm lawyers were named to the publication’s list of “Ones to Watch,” which honors outstanding lawyers who in general have been practicing for fewer than 10 years. The firm’s honorees are:
- Rebecca Neumann — plaintiff’s personal injury litigation and appellate practice
- James “Mick” Kennedy — commercial litigation and plaintiff’s personal injury practice
The Best Lawyers in America guide recognizes only the top 5 percent of attorneys in the nation across 150 practice areas.
