For the seventh consecutive year Janklow Law Firm has received the highest, Tier 1 ranking in the personal injury litigation practice area of the “Best Law Firms” rankings released by U.S. News and World Report. Awards were given in 74 national practice areas and 120 metropolitan practice areas.
To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer listed in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top four percent of practicing attorneys in the United States. Our Attorney Russ Janklow received this highest distinction of “Best Lawyer” from U.S. News and World Report 2015 in the areas of Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Workers’ Compensation Law - Claimants. The Best Lawyers in America list honors the top lawyers in each practice area and metropolitan region in the country. Attorney Janklow has received the Best Lawyers recognition since 2010 and was awarded the 2014 Lawyer of the Year in Sioux Falls for Personal Injury Litigation.
U.S. News and World Report rankings are decided by both clients and peers, and assigned to only law firms that have received consistently positive reviews. Firms with a tiered ranking have demonstrated a commitment to combining quality law practice and legal experience.
Massive amounts of hard data are combined with nearly 600,000 law firm assessments and almost 40,000 client evaluations to determine the “Best Law Firm” rankings. Achieving this distinction is definite proof that Janklow Law Firm is a leader within the South Dakota legal community.
We are honored by the recognition of U.S. News and World Report and Best Lawyers, and we look forward to continuing to give our clients the best possible representation!
