Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP is pleased to announce that 55 lawyers from the firm have been included in the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America. For the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America, 9.4 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in the inclusion of more than 67,000 lawyers, or approximately 5% of practicing lawyers in the United States. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.
Additionally, 19 lawyers from the firm are recognized in the inaugural edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, the newest award initiative from Best Lawyers, recognizes attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.
Three lawyers from the firm received “Lawyer of the Year” awards based on their extremely high overall feedback within a specific practice area and metropolitan region. The following lawyers received a 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” award in Cleveland in their respective practice area:
Robert J. Fogarty for Litigation – Real Estate, Stephen H. Gariepy for Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law, and Stephen J. Knerly, Jr. for Nonprofit / Charities Law.
Best Lawyers has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals.

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.
