“This historic 30th edition of The Best Lawyers in America is a testament to lawyers’ and firms’ appreciation of the Best Lawyers steadfast methodology and historical significance on the legal industry,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer in a press release. “Best Lawyers and ‘Ones to Watch’ accolades are based purely on the review of other top lawyers practicing in the same metropolitan and practice areas. Those practicing against each other in mediation or arguing across the aisle in court are providing positive feedback on their peers’ skillset, knowledge, and professionalism. These awards are a genuine vote of confidence in their fellow lawyers.”
According to Hinkle, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. The three Hinkle Law attorneys who received this recognition are Rebecca Bergkamp, Krystle Dalke, and Lora Smith.
Hinkle Law attorneys David M. Rapp and Gregory S. Young also were included in the 2024 edition of Lawyer of the Year. This recognition honors a lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area. Selection is based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer-review assessments.
