29 Tucker Arensberg Lawyers Named Among the Best Lawyers in America® and as “Ones to Watch” in 2025

PITTSBURGH, August 15, 2024 – Tucker Arensberg is pleased to announce that 29 attorneys were recently recognized in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America^® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch^® in America. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.

Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in America and the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America lists are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers based on professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Candidates can only be considered for one recognition at a time, either Ones to Watch or traditional Best Lawyers awards. “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to “The Best Lawyers” and all hopeful candidates must be nominated, vetted by their peers, and undergo an authentication process before they are recognized by Best Lawyers. Lawyers are neither required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.

The complete list of Tucker Arensberg attorneys recognized and the categories for which they were honored follow below.
