Paulson & Nace Named Top-Tier Medical Malpractice Law Firm by U.S. News

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Paulson & Nace, PLLC has been ranked as a top-tier medical malpractice law firm in the Washington, DC metropolitan area by U.S. News & World Report.  The 2010 Best Law Firms rankings published by U.S. News Media Group and Best Lawyers will be featured in the October print issue of U.S. News & World Report, which will go on sale September 27.

These rankings, which are presented in tiers both nationally and by metropolitan area or by state, showcase 8,782 different law firms ranked in one or more of  81 major practice areas.

"We are honored to have received a Tier 1 ranking for our medical malpractice work," said Barry J. Nace, founding partner of Paulson & Nace.  "With over 40 years of experience in complex medical and other personal injury cases, I'm delighted that U.S. News has recognized our accomplishments in their inaugural edition of Best Lawyers."

In addition to the Firm's medical malpractice work, Paulson & Nace was also recognized for its personal injury litigation practice.  

Said Nace, "These rankings were complied by objective data, in addition to a survey by our peers, which is why I'm particularly proud of this special distinction.  Of course, the most satisfying honor remains the opportunity to help our clients get back on their feet after tragedy has struck."

U.S. News ranked all law firms according to hard data such as number of lawyers and years of experience, number of litigation matters, dollar amounts of verdicts and settlements, and other objective data.  This data was collected in conjunction with Best Lawyers rankings of individual lawyers based on peer reviews, which culminated in a final tiered ranking system.
