“We have much to be proud of, with some new practices and attorneys making the list this year,” said Evan H. Krinick, Rivkin Radler’s Managing Partner. “This recognition underscores the good decision we made earlier this year to add a Jacksonville office, as so many attorneys there are considered Best Lawyers and Best Lawyers Ones to Watch.”

Since 1983, The Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. The lists are compiled based on a peer-review evaluation. Lawyer of the Year is awarded to individual lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.

Ones to Watch is a recognition given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. The methodology for determining these awards is peer-review.
