Kean Miller is pleased to announce that thirty-two of its attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2020. Of the thirty-two attorneys listed, four have been recognized as “Lawyers of the Year” in specific areas of practice.

Published since 1983, The Best Lawyers in America is regarded as an important referral guide to the legal profession in the United States.
