Thirty-one Plunkett Cooney attorneys were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America^®.

First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which lawyers within their own geographic region nominate their peers. These lawyers are not allowed to select nominees from the same area(s) in which they practice. Inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered an honor because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed.
