NEW YORK, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading litigation firm Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer, P.C., has been recognized for the seventh consecutive year by British legal directory publisher, Chambers & Partners in its 2010 USA Guide. The firm received the highest ranking, Band one, in the Litigation: Specialist Firms in White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations category in New York. In addition, five attorneys received individual recognition, the highest number of individuals among all firms in this category.
Morvillo Abramowitz is a "stellar litigation boutique [that] excels in white-collar criminal defense and government investigations." One source refers to the firm as "One of the first you'd think of for white-collar work." Chambers USA researchers conducted thousands of in-depth phone interviews with a vast range of lawyers, peers and their clients to compile this information. Law firms and individual lawyers are ranked in bands from 1-4 that distinguish levels of seniority or significant activities of lawyers.
"We are honored to receive such a prestigious ranking from Chambers & Partners," said Elkan Abramowitz of Morvillo Abramowitz. "There is no greater recognition than that of our peers and our clients, and we are deeply appreciative of their praise."
The five attorneys who received individual recognition included Robert Morvillo, whom peers regard as "clearly one of the best lawyers in town," and Mr. Abramowitz, who is renowned as "a fantastic trial lawyer." Both were ranked Band S, or "Senior Statesmen," in the New York Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations category. Mr. Morvillo was also ranked Band S in the national Litigation: Trial Lawyers category.
Lawrence Iason, "a go-to securities enforcement lawyer," Robert Anello, who is regarded as "down-to-earth and smart to the core," and Barry Bohrer, recommended for his "excellent courtroom experience," were ranked in the New York Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations category.
