Morningstar Law Group is proud to announce that twenty-seven of our attorneys have been named to The Best Lawyers in America© 2027 edition, with three additionally recognized as “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas. Four of our rising attorneys have also been named to the “Ones to Watch” list, which honors lawyers earlier in their careers who are already making a mark.
Best Lawyers® is the oldest and one of the most respected peer-review publications in the legal profession. Recognition is based entirely on peer nominations and evaluations from other attorneys in the same practice areas and geographic regions — lawyers cannot buy or apply for inclusion. Being selected by one’s own peers is one of the most meaningful forms of professional recognition in the field, and being named Lawyer of the Year is rarer still, reserved for a single attorney per practice area, per metro region.
We’re honored to see so many of our colleagues recognized this year, and even more pleased to see that recognition span across practice areas and career stages — from long-established partners to attorneys just beginning to build their reputations.
