Plattner Verderame, P.C. Attorneys Recognized by Best Lawyers in America® in 2024!

Plattner Verderame, P.C. is proud to announce that our partners, Richard S. Platter and Frank Verderame, have been recognized by Best Lawyers in America® for 2024. Nick Verderame has been recognized again as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch for 2024.

Each year, Best Lawyers® recognizes the achievements of attorneys across the country in a variety of practice areas. Unlike other services, selection is based entirely on peer review. An attorney who is named to Best Lawyers® one year may be eligible the next, but there is no guarantee that he or she will be selected for inclusion. Attorneys and firms cannot purchase a place on the list; it is entirely dependent on recommendations from other attorneys. All eligible attorneys must be in good standing with their Bar associations.
