Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, is based on an exhaustive annual survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.

Because Best Lawyers is based on a peer-review survey, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

Steven Naifeh, president of Best Lawyers, said, “We continue to believe – as we have believed for 28 years – that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of recognition in the legal profession.”

The 2009 SuperLawyers Listings have been released and once again Faraci Lange attorneys are right at the top. Five Faraci Lange attorneys (Angelo G. Faraci, Paul K. Lange, Joseph A. Regan, Stephen G.

The same five attorneys from Faraci Lange were the only attorneys from Rochester selected in the Plaintiff Product Liability category.
