Offit Kurman is pleased to announce that sixty-three of the firm’s attorneys have been included on the Best Lawyers in America list for 2024. In addition, six attorneys were chosen to Ones to Watch and one attorney was selected as Lawyer of the Year.

Attorneys in the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch category are extraordinary lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years in the United States. Like traditional Best Lawyers awards, the Ones to Watch recognition is based entirely on peer review.

Robert McNeill was selected as Lawyer of the Year for his work in Insurance Law.

The Offit Kurman lawyers on the lists are a diverse group of individuals whose practices span various legal service areas, including family law, bankruptcy, insurance, real estate, education law, estates and trusts, business organizations and commercial litigation. Many of the attorneys recognized this year have appeared on the list multiple times.

Links to these attorneys’ biographies, along with their Best Lawyers practice areas and first year included on the list can be found below.

*The year in parenthesis is the first edition year the lawyer was recognized in Best Lawyers for any practice area.
