The partners at Niemeyer, Grebel & Kruse are pleased to announce that NGK Law was recently named by US News & World Report to the 2017 edition of “Best Law Firms.” Firms included in the US News & World Report 2017 Best Law Firms list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. US News & World Report reports that achieving this ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise. “US News is the global authority in rankings,” says Tim Smart, Executive Editor of US News & World Report. “Evaluating law firms is a natural extension of what we do best.”

NGK Law has attorneys recognized in the Best Lawyers edition in both the mass tort and the personal injury-plaintiff’s litigation departments. Mark Niemeyer has been recognized by Best Lawyers in the mass tort department, and David Grebel has been recognized in the personal injury litigation for plaintiffs category.

The 2017 rankings are based on the highest number of participating firms and highest number of client ballots on record. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer listed in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 4 percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. Over 10,000 attorneys provided more than 800,000 law firm assessments, and over 10,000 clients provided more than 90,000 evaluations.

“For seven years now, we have added law firm rankings to our rankings of individual lawyers,” says Steven Naifeh, CEO and co-founder of Best Lawyers. “It has been a daunting task. This year we reviewed 13,803 law firms across the United States and across 122 practice areas, for a total of 2,005 firms receiving a national law firm ranking. Each year, we have expanded our reach while also trying to simplify the process, as much as possible, for the law firms that provide us with the information that we use to create the rankings. We are proud that the legal profession has come to view our law firm rankings each year with such deep and widespread respect.”

Ranked firms, presented in tiers, are listed on a national and/or metropolitan scale. Receiving a tier designation reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and the same practice areas for its abilities, its professionalism and its integrity.

Awards were given in 74 national practice areas and 122 metropolitan practice areas. One “Law Firm of the Year” is named in each of the 74 nationally ranked practice areas.

The 2017 Best Law Firms list will be featured in two publications. The national First Tier rankings will be featured in the Third Edition of the “Best Law Firms” Legal Issue, which will be distributed in January to more than 35,000 C-level executives. National and metropolitan First Tier rankings will be featured in the “Best Law Firms” General Counsel Publication, which will be distributed in December to more than 30,000 in-house counsel, and in digital format to more than 60,000 private practice lawyers worldwide.
