Phelan Petty Injury Lawyers Make 2025 “Best Law Firms” List for Three Categories
Phelan Petty Injury Lawyers is excited to be included once again on the annual U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” list. This year, we received three Tier 1 rankings for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs, Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, and Mass Tort / Class Action – Plaintiffs.
Before a firm can be included in the “Best Law Firms” list, they must have at least one attorney recognized by Best Lawyers®. This award does not allow firms to purchase a place on the list, and there is no guarantee that a firm will make the list multiple years after earning a spot once. Phelan Petty Injury Lawyers has been named to the annual “Best Law Firms” list every year for more than a decade.
