We are proud to have 9 lawyers awarded in the 2023 editions of The Best Lawyers in America®.
The Best Lawyers in America® recognizes only the top 5.3% of elite lawyers in the nation in their specific geographic location and practice area. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Best Lawyers awards are compiled by exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. Hovey Williams’ lawyers are ranked in six practice areas that include copyright law; intellectual property law; litigation – intellectual property; patent law; trade secrets law; and trademark law. Additionally, two of our partners, Cheryl Burbach and Crissa Cook were named to the prestigious “Lawyer of the Year” List, an honor earned by only one lawyer in each practice area and metropolitan region. Individuals honored as a “Lawyer of the Year” received particularly high ratings for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity. We are humbled by these peer-reviewed recognitions and honored to be included among this esteemed group of Best Lawyers in 2023.
