Twenty-two attorneys from Larkin Hoffman have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2025 edition of  The Best Lawyers in America®, including two attorneys honored as  "Lawyer of the Year" for their practice areas.  Thirteen attorneys were selected as Best Lawyers in America and nine were named Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.  

Inclusion in the publication is based on a peer-review process developed by Best Lawyers. The methodology uses annual surveys asking lawyers across the nation to evaluate their peers based on legal skill, professionalism and integrity. Using that data, the publication chooses the top attorneys in high-profile practices. Lawyers of the Year received the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes attorneys in their first ten years of private practice for their outstanding professional excellence.

Lawyers of the Year

Chuck Modell and Rob Hill were both recognized as “Lawyer of the Year” for their practices.  Chuck was singled out for his work in franchise law and Rob was recognized for family law arbitration.  Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the "Lawyer of the Year," making this accolade particularly significant. The lawyers are selected based on peer-review assessments. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect both Chuck and Rob have received among their peers in the law community.
