Rochester law partners Deborah M. Field and James E. Morris named Best Lawyers in America for 12th and 13th consecutive years respectively.

Rochester, New York – August 16, 2022 - Senior partner James E. Morris was again selected by his peers for inclusion in the 24th edition of The Best Lawyers in America for his work in Mediation.

His daughter, Deborah M. Field, has been recognized in Best Lawyers for her work in the practice area of Personal Injury Litigation Plaintiffs for the 12th consecutive year.

As a family-based law firm specializing in personalized service, Morris and Morris Attorneys has purposely maintained a smaller, selective firm, which enables them to provide the high quality representation that has become their signature trait.

Ms. Field said, "We are very proud of consistently achieving national recognition by both Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers and I am personally gratified to be honored in my field of Personal Injury Litigation Plaintiffs. Morris and Morris Attorneys aspires to the highest level of achievement and this has been our mission for three generations."

Additionally, for 35 years Mr. Morris has achieved the AV Preeminent Rating, the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards. It is the peak of professional excellence earned through a strenuous Peer Review Rating process managed by Martindale Hubbell, the world’s most trusted legal resource.

"I am deeply honored to have achieved the AV Preeminent Rating and to be recognized for my work in Mediation. It is an affirmation of the 75 year heritage of our firm and the proven results we’ve consistently delivered to our clients, “said Mr. Morris.

Best Lawyers is the oldest and most highly respected peer review guide to the legal profession worldwide and to be included in their rankings is an honor of great distinction.
