Moss & Barnett is pleased to congratulate our lawyers who have been included in the 2025 editions of The Best Lawyers in America^® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America^®. This is the 31st edition of The Best Lawyers in America and the fifth edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America. 

For over 40 years, Best Lawyers has been esteemed by both legal professionals and the public as a premier benchmark for legal integrity and distinction in the United States. The Best Lawyers methodology is a purely peer-based review process designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, the newest award initiative from Best Lawyers, recognizes attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Over 27 million evaluations were analyzed including a record breaking 4.2 million responses from this year alone. Consequently, being recognized by Best Lawyers is a testament to exceptional practice.
