LKM Receives First Tier Ranking in Best Law Firms® 14th Edition

by David McGrath | Nov 16, 2023 | News

Louden, Katz & McGrath has been named a Tier 1 firm in Hartford for Family Law Practice in the 2024 edition of Best Law Firms®. This is the fifth consecutive year LKM has been named to this Best Firms list.

Law firms included in the publication are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must first have a lawyer recognized in The Best Lawyers in America®, which recognizes 6% of lawyers practicing in the United States. Louden, Katz & McGrath has had at least one attorney recognized with The Best Lawyers in America® distinction every year since 1983. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review.

“We take immense pride in assisting our clients through significant life transitions related to their marriages and children,” said David McGrath, Managing Partner. “These rankings reflect commitment by the lawyers and staff at the Firm who are providing creative, responsive, and empathetic solutions to our clients’ challenges. Being consistently acknowledged for this dedication by our peers and a reputable national organization like Best Lawyers is an honor.”

The 2024 “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. Receiving a tier designation reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among clients and other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas based on abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

To become eligible for a “Best Law Firms” ranking, at least one lawyer at the firm must be recognized in the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, an exclusive award presented to only the top 5% of lawyers in the United States. The Best Lawyers research team incorporates 13.7 million evaluations of more than 125,000 leading lawyers from more than 23,000 firms and conducts hundreds of interviews with law firm leaders.

“These rankings – our first independently published rankings and 14th edition – serve as a true North Star for the industry,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer. “We know that the legal profession–like so many industries today–is undergoing a transformation led by proliferating technology, global demands and evolving social norms. Through these rankings, we can not only identify the gamechangers for law firms today, but also focus on key issues such as integrating AI and addressing DE&I that are positioning them and the profession for future success.”
