F&P Attorneys Receive 2026 Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch Designations

Franklin & Prokopik is proud to announce that nine of our attorneys have been honored on the 2026 Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch lists.

Since 1983, Best Lawyers has sought to recognize outstanding legal talent worldwide. They evaluate candidates on legal service, expertise, ethics, and professionalism. Recipients are selected through a peer review process based on practice area and geographic region. The Ones to Watch designation employs the same methodology, but is awarded to attorneys who are early in their careers.

F&P attorneys have been recognized on the list for nine consecutive years. Our recipients were recognized for excellence in practice areas including Commercial Litigation, Construction Litigation, Employment Law, Insurance Law, Product Liability Litigation, and Workers’ Compensation.
