New England (September 29, 2015) - Verrill Dana is pleased to announce that Best Lawyers^® 2016 has again honored all attorneys that were recognized in 2015. Three attorneys have been included for the first time bringing the total ranked attorneys to 64. Additionally, 10 Verrill Dana lawyers have been named “Lawyer of the Year,” a distinguished recognition for only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area.

Suzanne Meeker ’81 is a partner at Verrill Dana in their Portland, ME office and has been recognized in the Best Lawyers 2016 edition for Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law. Frank J. Silvestri, Jr. ’74, a partner in the Westport, CT office of Verrill Dana, was selected for the 2016 Best Lawyers list for Commercial Litigation and Litigation Securities. 

Since it was first published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America^© has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because The Best Lawyers in America^© is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 36,000 leading attorneys cast almost 4.4 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America^© is considered a singular honor.
