Burns & Levinson LLP is proud to announce that 14 of the firm's Boston
based attorneys were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best
Lawyers in America® 2012, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication
in the legal profession. We congratulate Attorneys Victor Bass, Brian D. Bixby,
Thomas D. Burns, Laura L. Carroll, Jerry Cohen, Lisa M. Cukier, Jacob (Jesse) N.
Erlich, George P. Field, Dennis J. Kelly, David P. Rosenblatt, Mark Schonfeld,
Laura R. Studen, George N. Tobia, Jr. and Peter F. Zupcofska. Mr. Burns (25
years), Mr. Coffey (10 years) and Mr. Rosenblatt (10 years) are part of a
distinguished group who have been listed in Best Lawyers® for ten years or
longer. Many of our attorneys were also selected in more than one field.
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as
the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an
exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 41,000 leading attorneys cast
almost 3.9 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their
practice areas, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral
list of attorneys in practice.”
