We are pleased to announce that Nicholas A. Iannuzzi, Jr. and Valerie C. Samuels have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.

Nick, head of our Family Law practice, has been recognized by Best Lawyers for Family Law and for the second consecutive year in Collaborative Law: Family Law. Nick guides clients through significant life transitions with a focus on thoughtful problem-solving and practical solutions. Through collaborative law, he provides families with an alternative to litigation, aiming for workable agreements and minimizing conflict.

Valerie, head of our Employment Law practice, has been recognized for five years by Best Lawyers in Employment Law – Management. As a leader in our Employment Law and Litigation groups, Valerie advises and represents employers on a broad range of employment matters. She helps clients understand their legal obligations, address workplace issues, and manage disputes while emphasizing proactive strategies that can identify and resolve issues before they escalate.

Best Lawyers uses a peer-review process in which attorneys evaluate others in the same geographic and practice areas, considering professional ability and reputation. As a small firm, we particularly value this recognition.

The legal profession is one in which reputation is built over time through matters attorneys handle, relationships they develop, and their service to clients and colleagues. It is a reminder to us that our reputation doesn’t belong to the firm alone, and is built through relationships. Thank you to our peers who took the time to participate in the Best Lawyers review process, and we are ever grateful to our clients who have trusted us over the years.

Congratulations, Nick and Valerie!
