Meyer, Unkovic & Scott LLP is pleased to announce that 24 lawyers have been included in the 2019 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. In addition, three lawyers have also been recognized by their peers in Pittsburgh as “Lawyers of the Year” in their respective practice areas.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during peer review assessments. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and practice areas for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
The three Meyer, Unkovic & Scott lawyers recognized this year as “Lawyer of the Year” are:
- Patricia E. Farrell in the practice area of Mergers and Acquisitions Law
- Patricia L. Dodge in the practice area of Bet-the-Company Litigation
- W. Grant Scott II in the practice area of Land Use and Zoning Law
This year’s edition of Best Lawyers® includes more than 41 percent of Meyer, Unkovic & Scott’s roster of 58 attorneys. Of the 24 Meyer, Unkovic & Scott attorneys in the 2019 edition, half have spent more than 10 years on the list.
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Publishing company Best Lawyers has issued its list for more than three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries.
Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in America® list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.
