Detroit-based firm included on 2015 list of ‘Best Law Firms’

Nemeth Law, P.C., a Detroit-based labor and employment law firm, has been recognized as a tier-one law firm by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers in its 2015 list of “Best Law Firms.”
 
Nemeth Law is ranked Tier 1 in the metropolitan rankings in the category of employment law – management. The metropolitan rankings encompass 182 major U.S. markets in eight states.

The “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by the law firms themselves. Clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups, addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Lawyers voted on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to a firm, and whether they consider a firm a worthy competitor. To be eligible for consideration as one of the “Best Law Firms,” a firm must have at least one attorney listed in the current edition of Best Lawyers.

In August, it was announced that Patricia Nemeth, founder of Nemeth Law, P.C., was selected by her peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2015.
