Celebrating Taylor & Ring’s 2025 Best Law Firms Recognition

Taylor & Ring is honored to announce that we made the U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” list for 2025. We earned Metropolitan Tier 1 recognition in Los Angeles for two categories: Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs. This recognition is a great opportunity for our team to reflect on the important work we do every day for our clients.

Why the “Best Law Firms” is significant

The Best Law Firms® rankings are among the most respected in the legal field because they rely exclusively on peer reviews to develop their list. The selection process is rigorous, and only firms with attorneys who earn a spot on the Best Lawyers® list in the same year are eligible. Best Lawyers® does not allow firms to purchase spots in their ranking, so the results are a true reflection of the respect others in the industry have for each firm on the list. We are honored to have gained the trust of the legal community and our clients.

Celebrating our award-winning attorneys

Earning a spot on the Best Law Firms® list would be impossible without our hard-working team of attorneys, many of whom qualified for the Best Lawyers® rankings. Here are the eight Taylor & Ring attorneys recognized in the 2025 Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America™.
