Recognition Reflects Peer Review

Best Lawyers uses a peer-review process in which attorneys evaluate the professional abilities of other lawyers practicing in the same geographic and legal practice areas. The organization says its recognition process is based on the opinions of legal professionals rather than paid placement.

For Brown & Barron, the recognition is another reflection of the firm’s focus on serious civil litigation and its work on behalf of injured people and their families.

“Recognition by our peers is meaningful because it reflects the work our attorneys put into every case and every client relationship,” said Brown & Barron. “We are proud of Brian, Leah, Chris, and E.J. for the knowledge, preparation, and commitment they bring to their work.”

Focused on Clients and Complex Cases

Brown & Barron focuses its practice on cases involving medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, birth injuries, wrongful death, and other serious personal injuries. The firm says its attorneys work closely with clients throughout the legal process, from the initial review of a potential claim through settlement negotiations or trial.

The firm’s team has more than 145 years of combined trial experience. Brown & Barron also reports that it has helped more than 20,000 clients and recovered more than $169 million for clients through verdicts and settlements since 2017.

The firm approaches each case with the understanding that serious injuries can affect an entire family. Medical errors, nursing home neglect, and other forms of negligence can create long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Brown & Barron’s attorneys work to understand those challenges and help clients pursue appropriate legal remedies.
