Neil, Dymott, Frank, McFall & Trexler, APLC attorney Robert W. Frank was recently selected as 2015 "Lawyer of the Year" for Medical Malpractice Law - Defendants in the San Diego area.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer-review assessments.
Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
In addition to the Lawyer of the Year award, Robert W. Frank was also listed in the 2015 Best Lawyers in America in the following practice areas:
Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants
Professional Malpractice Law - Defendants
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 36,000 leading attorneys cast almost 4.4 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
