IN THE NEWS: The Maher Law Firm Attorneys Named to The Best Lawyers in America©, 2027 Edition

The Maher Law Firm is proud to announce that three of our trial attorneys — Steven R. Maher, Jason R. Fraxedas, and Matthew Mokwa — have been selected for The Best Lawyers in America© 2027 edition. The recognition places all three among an elite group: the 33rd edition of Best Lawyers honors just over 81,000 attorneys nationwide, roughly 5% of all practicing lawyers in the United States.

What Is The Best Lawyers in America©?

The Best Lawyers in America© is one of the oldest and most respected peer-review guides in the legal profession. Rather than letting lawyers nominate themselves, Best Lawyers uses a “Purely Peer Review” process: practicing attorneys in the same practice area and region confidentially evaluate their peers’ skill, ethics, and professional ability. For the 2027 edition, that process included more than 3.8 million individual evaluations before any attorney’s bar standing was verified and their name added to the list.

Steve Maher has been named to The Best Lawyers in America© every year since 2015 — including three-time recognition as “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation (Plaintiffs) in 2024, 2022, and 2019, and again for Personal Injury Litigation (Plaintiffs) in 2017. Steve holds an AV® Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available, and has spent more than 30 years litigating mass tort, medical malpractice, product liability, and personal injury cases on behalf of injured families — including a $25 million jury verdict and a $10 million medical malpractice verdict.

Jason Fraxedas earned his second consecutive Best Lawyers recognition in the 2027 edition, honored in Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions and Personal Injury Litigation (Plaintiffs).
