The Best Lawyers in America has recognized 37 Goldberg Segalla attorneys in its 2020 edition, with some listed in multiple categories, amounting to 53 total recognitions. In addition, the publication has named Goldberg Segalla partners Thomas P. Bernier and Patrick B. Naylon each a 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective locations and practice areas. The publication recognizes Tom as Product Liability (Defendants) Lawyer of the Year for Baltimore and Pat as Personal Injury (Defendants) Lawyer of the Year for Rochester.
