Roetzel & Andress LPA is pleased to announce that 70 of its attorneys have been named to the 2021 edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. Also, 10 Roetzel attorneys have earned “Lawyer of the Year” accolades. 

Best Lawyers® has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries. In order to be named in The Best Lawyers in America©, an attorney must be nominated by another attorney or by a client. The attorney’s name will then appear on a ballot for a specific practice area and geographical region. 7.8 million votes were cast during the selection process. Pending positive evaluation, and good standing with the Bar Association, they may be included in the Best Lawyers® list.
