PITTSBURGH, PA (November 2, 2015)- U.S. News & World Report names Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti, LLP a 2016 Tier 1 Metro “Best Law Firm” in four practice areas in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. These four practice areas are Commercial Litigation, Health Care Law, Personal Injury Litigation, and Workers’ Compensation Law.

In addition to the Tier 1 Metro ratings, Pietragallo was also named a Tier 2 Metro “Best Law Firm” for the practice areas of Litigation- Intellectual Property, Litigation- Patent, Medical Malpractice Law, Patent Law, Product Liability Litigation, and Trademark Law.

Firms included in the 2016 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law prac­tice and breadth of legal expertise.

The 2016 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 US. Over 12,000 attorneys provided over 330,000 law firm assessments, and almost 7,000 clients provided close to 20,000 evaluations. Outside lawyers also voted on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to that firm, and whether they would consider that firm a worthy competitor. In addition, to provide personal insight, a new Law Firm Leaders Survey was implemented in the decision-making process.
