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. Schwarz and Brian M. Zorn) were selected in the category of Plaintiff Medical Malpractice, representing all but one of the six lawyers from Rochester selected in this category. The same five attorneys from Faraci Lange were the only attorneys from Rochester selected in the Plaintiff Product Liability category. Four Faraci Lange attorneys (Faraci, Lange, Regan and Zorn) were selected in the Personal Injury – General category and Schwarz was also listed in the Environmental Litigation category.

Two Faraci Lange attorneys (Faraci and Schwarz) were in the Top Fifty Upstate New York SuperLawyers listing for the second consecutive year. This listing is comprised of the highest rated 50 attorneys in Upstate New York which includes all specialties.

Faraci Lange is proud of the attorneys selected by their peers for this distinction.
