2013 Best Law Firms Tier 1 Ranking in Family Law

2013 Best Law Firms Tier 1 Ranking in Family Law

For the fourth year in a row, Beermann Pritikin Mirabelli Swerdlove LLP is ranked as a Tier 1 law firm in Family Law for the Chicago metro region and has received the prestigious "U.S. News - Best Law Firm's" recognition.

The U.S.News – Best Lawyers® “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 the family law field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.

Clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups, using a scale of 1 (weakest) to 5 (strongest), addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm.

Lawyers also voted on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to a firm, and whether they consider a firm a worthy competitor.

The first tier in each metropolitan area includes those firms that scored within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firm(s); the second tier, those firms that scored within a certain percentage of the next highest scoring firm(s), and so on. Beermann Pritikin Mirabelli Swerdlove has ranked Tier 1 in Family Law in 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013.
