Cole Schotz P.C. is pleased to announce that 31 of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Best Lawyers® on its 2019 Best Lawyers in America list. Many of the firm’s attorneys are regularly featured on the annual list, with 13 attorneys being featured for 10 years and 6 attorneys being featured for 15 or more years. Among the notable recognitions, Michael Forman, co-chair of the firm’s Tax, Trusts & Estates Department, has been included on the list for 25 years.

Best Lawyers, among the oldest peer-reviewed guides to the legal profession, identifies honorees through a detailed peer-review process in which 50,000 attorneys evaluate their colleagues based on legal abilities within similar geographical locations and legal practice areas. A description of the methodology can be viewed on the Best Lawyers website.

From those selected as Best Lawyers, an additional “Lawyer of the Year” title is awarded to those individual attorneys who receive the highest peer feedback overall in a specific practice area and geographic location.
