Plattner Verderame, P.C. Achieves Prestigious 2025 Best Law Firms® Ranking
Plattner Verderame, P.C. is thrilled to announce our inclusion in the 2025 Best Law Firms® rankings, recognizing the firm’s commitment to excellence in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. For another year, we have earned the distinguished Tier 1 status in Phoenix, a testament to the quality of our practice and the dedication of our team.
Why the Best Law Firms® rankings matter
Best Law Firms® rankings are awarded by Best Lawyers® based on thorough assessments of client feedback, responses from the Law Firm Survey and Law Firm Leaders Survey, and peer reviews from leading lawyers nationwide. Rankings are organized by tier within specific metropolitan areas, with each tier representing exceptional legal skill and comprehensive knowledge.
Unlike some other legal rankings, attorneys cannot earn Best Lawyers® and Best Law Firms® accolades through purchase or financial contributions. The organization determines them strictly based on merit and the endorsements of respected colleagues and judges. This helps to maintain an honest listing of accomplished attorneys.
Recognizing our talented team’s achievements
To qualify for the Best Law Firms list, at least one attorney from the firm must make the Best Lawyers® list for that year. We are proud to report that multiple attorneys at Plattner Verderame, P.C. received recognition in the 2025 Best Lawyers in America® rankings:
