Plunkett Cooney, an IADC member law firm, recently received Tier 1 rankings in the 2014 “Best Law Firms” edition of U.S. News & World Report.
U.S. News, in conjunction with Best Lawyers in America, a global peer-to-peer attorney rating service, has ranked 9,633 law firms across the nation in one or more of 75 legal practice areas, as well as ranking metropolitan or state law firms in one or more of 119 practice areas in seven states.
“We are grateful to our clients which continue to acknowledge the high-quality services our attorneys and staff have provided over the years,“ said Plunkett Cooney President & CEO Henry B. Cooney. “Our staff is truly dedicated, and it’s nice to see the firm has received this national service-based honor once again.”
Based on a tiered rather than a ranked system, Plunkett Cooney, which was also recognized as a “Best Law Firm” last year, was recognized in the following first-tier categories:
– Appellate Practice
– Litigation – Construction
– Litigation – Municipal
– Medical Malpractice Law - Defendants
– Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants
– Workers' Compensation Law - Employers
This Tier 1 ranking was determined through Plunkett Cooney's overall evaluation, which was derived from a combination of the firm’s clients’ impressive feedback, and the high regard that lawyers in other firms in the same practice area have for the firm, as well as the information that was provided by the firm in response to the U.S. News – Best Lawyers annual law firm survey.
