Stark & Stark has been included in the 2024 Edition of Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms®”* list. For 2024, the firm was recognized as Metropolitan Tier 1 in the following practice areas:
- Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants (New Jersey)
- Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (New Jersey & Philadelphia)
According to Best Lawyers®, rankings are determined by a multitude of factors. First, data is collected from Best Lawyers ballots, which can only be completed by attorneys who are currently recognized by Best Lawyers. Then, all of the quantitative and qualitative data is combined into an overall “Best Law Firms” score for each firm. Because firms are often separated by small or insignificant differences in overall score, they use a tiering system rather than ranking law firms sequentially.
According to Best Lawyers®, “the rankings are based on a combination of client feedback, information provided on the Law Firm Survey, the Law Firm Leaders Survey, and Best Lawyers. A firm must have at least one attorney who has received high enough peer review to be listed in the current edition of Best Lawyers. Firms are eligible in the practice area(s) and metro region(s) in which they have listed lawyers.”
