Best Lawyers in America Recognizes W&L Attorneys

Weitz & Luxenberg is proud to announce, once again, that many of our law firm’s partners and senior attorneys were named to the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers in America, with four other attorneys named to the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list.

Work That Shapes the Industry

The annual awards are a way of, “recognizing the outstanding achievements of legal professionals who have demonstrated unparalleled expertise and dedication in their fields. These awards are more than just recognitions—they are a testament to the skill and commitment of lawyers across the United States, whose work continues to shape the future of the legal industry,” says Best Lawyers. ⁽¹⁾

With W&L’s achievements in all areas of its legal practice, from personal injury and product liability, to environmental antitrust, our lawyers have proven their mettle. We have taken on the fight for people who could not fight for themselves, winning over $19 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients across the U.S.

Yet, earning peer recognition is truly an honor. “As an industry-driven professional recognition, it is the opinion of lawyers themselves that determines our awards,” says Best Lawyers. ⁽²⁾

Methodology for Best Lawyers

There were 3.2 million evaluations collected for the 31^st edition of The Best Lawyers in America awards. Another 1.2 million evaluations were collected for the 5^th edition of the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America list. The candidates were all peer nominated, peer selected, and peer reviewed. ⁽³⁾

Nomination eligibility requires that candidates for The Best Lawyers in America awards have been in practice for a minimum of 10 years. The award nominees for Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America must have been in practice for 3 to 9 years. ⁽⁴⁾

Justice Is Our Driving Force

“I’m delighted, but not surprised, that our attorneys are being recognized for their hard work and dedication. It is an honor for us to help clients achieve a modicum of justice when they have been harmed by negligence or indifference. This is what has been the driving force behind Weitz & Luxenberg’s success for nearly 40 years,” says Arthur Luxenberg, co-founding member of the firm that bears his name.

Mr. Luxenberg continues, “Thank you to all of our peers who recognize our commitment to our clients, and to providing them the best legal representation possible with the optimal outcomes for their cases.”
