“Following 50 years in the Silicon Valley, McManis Faulkner has earned a reputation for its high-quality legal services and its outstanding service to the community. To be recognized, once again, is evidence of the respect for our firm and the strength of our practice offerings,” said James McManis, founding partner of McManis Faulkner.
McManis Faulkner was also honored in the categories of Appellate Practice (Tier Two), Bet-the-Company Litigation (Tier Two), Litigation – Real Estate (Tier Two), Litigation – Trusts and Estates (Tier Two), and Criminal Defense – White Collar (Tier Three) in San Jose.
In addition to the overall firm rankings, James McManis, Bill Faulkner, Christine Peek and Michael Reedy were selected for inclusion in Best Lawyers’ companion publication, The Best Lawyers in America 2022.
The “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a meticulous evaluation process that includes collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their fields, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. Achieving both “Tier One” rankings and other rankings signifies a quality law practice and breadth of legal experience and knowledge in the recognized areas.
