Goldberg Segalla is pleased to announce The Best Lawyers in America® has recognized 71 attorneys in its 2025 edition, along with 19 attorneys on its Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America list for 2025.

Best Lawyers’ recognition comes from a peer review process based on consensus opinion from leading lawyers about their colleagues in a given geographic location and practice.

The 90 recognized attorneys hail from 19 of the firm’s offices around the country and represent an expansive list of practices, including Appellate, Aviation, Class Action Litigation, Civil Litigation and Trial, Commercial Litigation and Arbitration, Consumer Product Regulation, Construction, Corporate Law and Transactions, Employment and Labor, Environmental Law, Global Insurance Services, Health Care, Intellectual Property, Management and Professional Liability, Product Liability, Transportation, and Workers’ Compensation.

Additionally, Best Lawyers has named two Goldberg Segalla partners as a 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” – Frank Ramos for Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants, and Marc W. Brown for the Appellate Practice. Individual attorneys with the highest overall peer review in each practice area within a specific location are designated “Lawyer of the Year,” underlining the recognition’s significance.
