Reno Office Lawyers Ranked Among Best Lawyers in America 2023

McDonald Carano proudly announces that 20 of our Reno office lawyers have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2023 edition of Best Lawyers in America. Three of our Reno office lawyers also received Lawyer of the Year awards and one lawyer received a Ones to Watch award. Best Lawyers in America recognizes only the top 5% of practicing lawyers and only one lawyer receives the Lawyer of the Year award for achieving the highest peer review rating in a specific area of law and geographic region. The Ones to Watch award recognizes “extraordinary lawyers who have been in private practice for less than 10 years for outstanding professional excellence.” 

Best Lawyers recognition is based on a peer review process that evaluates the professional abilities and quality of legal services provided by lawyers who are practicing in the same geographic region and area of law. The list of recognized lawyers from our Reno office is provided below.
