According to Best Lawyers, firms included in the 2020 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers.

“The No. 1 goal in our firm is client service,” Barley Snyder managing partner Jeff Lobach said. “It trumps everything. Client service is top of mind in every deal we make, every case we accept, even every email we send. It’s an essential part of our culture and mission. Nothing means more to us than having a satisfied client, and this is one sign that we are doing our job the right way.”

The 2020 rankings are based on the highest number of participating firms and highest number of client votes received on record. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer recognized first in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. In August, the Best Lawyers list included 16 different Barley Snyder attorneys.
