Recognition from one’s peers is among the most meaningful measures of professional achievement in the legal field. For Friedman Schuman Layser, the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers brings another opportunity to celebrate the experience, dedication, and accomplishments of attorneys throughout the firm.
Eleven Friedman Schuman Layser attorneys have been recognized in the 33rd edition of Best Lawyers, with seven attorneys named to the 2027 Best Lawyers list and four recognized as Best Lawyers: Ones To Watch. Two of this year’s honorees—Katherine Lekh and Caitlin Dryden Groeber—received the distinction for the first time.
Best Lawyers selections are based entirely on peer review, with attorneys evaluated by other lawyers in their geographic region and areas of practice. During the 2027 nomination period, nearly 50,000 lawyers participated in voting for their peers. As a result, inclusion provides a meaningful reflection of an attorney’s standing among other members of the legal profession.
The 2027 honorees represent several of Friedman Schuman Layser’s core practice areas, including trusts and estates, employment law, medical malpractice, personal injury litigation, commercial litigation, and real estate law.
The Best Lawyers: Ones To Watch recognition highlights attorneys who have demonstrated outstanding professional excellence earlier in their careers.
Both Lekh and Groeber are first-time honorees in the 2027 edition.
Together, these recognitions reflect the depth of experience across Friedman Schuman Layser and the firm’s continued commitment to providing skilled legal representation across a broad range of matters.
Friedman Schuman Layser congratulates all of its 2027 Best Lawyers and Best Lawyers: Ones To Watch honorees and thanks them for their continued commitment to their clients and the legal profession.
The 2027 edition of Best Lawyers in America is now available through Best Lawyers.
