Stafford Rosenbaum LLP is ecstatic to announce that 19 of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized as Best Lawyers for 2025! The Best Lawyers organization highlights attorneys based entirely on feedback from their peers, gathering “the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues” in each of their geographical and practice areas.

Additionally, Stafford Rosenbaum is extremely proud to honor two of these attorneys on earning further recognition as Lawyers of the Year. Extra congratulations to Attorney Bruce D.
