3 Chain | Cohn | Stiles attorneys selected into ‘Best Lawyers in America’ rankings publication

August 19, 2021 | 1:56 pm

Three lawyers at Chain | Cohn | Stiles have been recognized in the Best Lawyers in America program, the oldest and among the most respected attorney ranking services in the world.

For the fourth year in a row, David K. Cohn, managing partner at the law firm, was selected into the personal injury litigation category of the Best Lawyers program, while James A. Yoro, senior partner at the firm, was selected into the workers’ compensation law listings. This year, Chain | Cohn | Stiles is the only law firm in the Kern County area with more than one attorney to be listed.

In addition, Chain | Cohn | Stiles personal injury lawyer and junior partner Chad Boyles was selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America “Ones to Watch” list for the second year. The recognition is given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers (5 to 10 years in practice) for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.

Attorneys named to the U.S. News & World Report’s “The Best Lawyers in America” are recognized by their peers in the legal industry for their professional excellence in specific practice areas. For the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, more than 10.8 million evaluations were analyzed, which resulted in more than 66,000 leading lawyers in 147 practice areas being included in the new edition. This represents about 5% of lawyers in private practice in the United States. Unlike some other attorney directories and awards, lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, and inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.

“Forty years ago, Best Lawyers was founded to provide individuals searching for a lawyer a reliable and unbiased resource to identify the top legal professionals in their area,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer in a press release. “We are proud to continue our globally respected purely peer review methodology to honor the deserving lawyers recognized by their contemporaries. Congratulations to the lawyers included in the 2022 editions of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.”

BEST LAWYERS PROGRAM

For decades, Best Lawyers has assisted those in need of legal services to identify the attorneys best qualified to represent them in distant jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Its methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.

Attorneys are nominated for consideration. They are divided by geographic region and practice areas, and are evaluated by their peers on the basis of professional expertise. Those who receive high peer reviews undergo an authentication process to make sure they are currently practicing and in good standing. Only then can top attorneys be included in Best Lawyers.

“Best Lawyers believes that the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are,” according to the program’s methodology. “Thus, our recognitions are based purely on the feedback we receive from lawyers already highlighted in our publication.”

Having at least one attorney selected into the “Best Lawyers” program qualifies Chain | Cohn | Stiles to be included in the program’s “Best Law Firms” listings. In fact, Chain | Cohn | Stiles was selected for inclusion in the 2021 “Best Law Firms” list by U.S. News & World Report, which recognizes law firms for “professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Additionally, achieving a ranking “signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise.” The 2022 “Best Law Firms” list is released in November.
