MIAMI – August 17, 2023 – South Florida’s preeminent litigation firm Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine is pleased to announce that 16 of the Firm’s attorneys have once again been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America®, the oldest and most respected peer review publication in the legal profession. Eleven of the Firm’s attorneys were recognized in the 2024 Edition for Best Lawyers, and five attorneys were recognized for the Best Lawyers Ones to Watch category.  

For more than four decades, recognition by Best Lawyers has been widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, conferred on a lawyer by their peers. The publication’s lists of outstanding lawyers are compiled by conducting exhaustive peer review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If votes for a lawyer are positive enough for recognition, that lawyer then must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain in each edition, according to the Best Lawyers website. 

The Best Lawyers Ones to Watch award recognizes extraordinary lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years in the United States and is also based entirely on peer review. 

The Firm’s attorneys who were recognized by the 2024 Edition of Best Lawyers in the specified areas of practice are as follows:
