The national law firm of Wisner Baum is pleased to announce that it was selected for inclusion in the 2023 edition of U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms.” This marks the 8th consecutive year the firm has been ranked in the nationally renowned publication.
Wisner Baum was named a Tier 1 Metropolitan firm in Los Angeles by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” for the following practice areas:
- Aviation Law
- Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
- Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs
Curating “Best Law Firms”
In developing “Best Law Firms,” U.S. News – Best Lawyers® utilizes a rigorous selection process to ensure a vetted, high-quality legal guide. The intent is to showcase the most renowned law firms across the country. The publication surveys lawyers and clients about a firm’s level of expertise, business acumen, client accessibility, and responsiveness, among other areas.
U.S. News – Best Lawyers® requires firms to have at least one attorney recognized in that year’s edition of The Best Lawyers in America©. With only a small margin of private practice attorneys selected to The Best Lawyers in America© — just 6% — the candidate pool includes a select few firms.
The published edition of U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” only lists the firms that scored the highest during the selection process, placing them along three tiers for each legal area and region. Tier 1 sits at the very top.
Wisner Baum Law Firm Client Reviews
At Wisner Baum, we are very proud to have earned rankings in “Best Law Firms” since 2015, particularly because such rankings cannot be achieved without a high level of respect from our clients and colleagues.
Here are some of the client reviews the firm has received.
For the 2022 edition, former Wisner Baum client Kim Witczak wrote:
“I wish more lawyers had the courage like Wisner Baum. They work tirelessly to expose the wrongdoings of the corporations that are harming or killing the public. They are strategic and know the importance of documents that speak truth in black and white. My life would look very different today if it weren't for Wisner Baum.”
Zen Honeycutt, the Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America, wrote:
“Their exemplary commitment to integrity, providing the utmost service to their clients, results in actions that are much more courageous than most law firms are willing to be. Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman give me hope that legal actions can make a difference in creating a better, safer world and I nominate them as the best law firm on the planet.”
Notable lawyer David Rapoport, Esq. of Rapoport Law Offices wrote:
“I have known the work of this firm for over thirty years and during that time they have consistently delivered top quality work for their clients.”
Another of our distinguished colleagues, Mark Burton, Esq. of Audet & Partners, described us as “One of the top trial firms in the US.”
And last but not least, we were honored by what Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, a board-certified neurologist and instructor at Harvard Medical School, had to say. He wrote:
“Wisner Baum is a phenomenal law firm, at the cutting edge of product liability litigation. I have worked with them as a medical expert for decades. They do a masterful job leaving no stone unturned in discovery, crossing all the Ts and dotting all the Is (sic). The lawyers are so intelligent and so committed to advocating for their clients.”
Wisner Baum’s tier 1 rankings in three practice areas is a unique achievement. The firm’s managing shareholder, Michael L. Baum, is particularly proud of the feedback from clients and peers:
“This recognition is a nice validation of our firm’s commitment to doing the right thing for our clients and our leadership on the cutting-edge, high-profile cases we have the privilege of working up. We have a team that listens so well to our clients, analyzes the cases and documents so meticulously, stays up late, works through weekends, travels away from home, argues passionately in court, and represents our firm with such skill and dedication that our clients and our peers clearly take note.”
