We are pleased to announce that seven of our attorneys have been selected to Boston Magazine’s List of Top Lawyers of 2022.

According to Boston Magazine, “to compile this extensive guide, Boston magazine (in partnership with DataJoe Research) invited lawyers in the area to nominate up to three of their peers in a select number of specialties. The top vote-getters in each specialty were then reviewed by an advisory board of select lawyers, chosen for their credentials and the high number of votes they received. Sort by name, town, or specialty to find the pro you need, and then let them do the hard work.”

Please join us in congratulating the following attorneys who have been selected as Top Lawyers in 2022!
