Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman Chosen for U.S. News - Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" of 2022

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman, a national plaintiffs' trial law firm, was chosen for three Metropolitan Tier 1 rankings in Los Angeles by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" of 2022:

• Aviation Law
• Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
• Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs

U.S. News – Best Lawyers® has recognized Baum Hedlund since 2015, highlighting the firm's continued respect among peers and clients alike.

In choosing listees for "Best Law Firms," U.S. News – Best Lawyers® requests professional and client feedback for each qualifying firm. The highest-scoring firms for each legal practice area and region are then placed along three tiers. Tier 1 showcases the firms that have scored the highest among all that year's candidates.

U.S. News – Best Lawyers® only considers firms that have at least one attorney recognized in that year's The Best Lawyers in America© as eligible for review. Since only 6% of the nation's private practice lawyers are named to this guide, the "Best Law Firms" candidate pool is quite limited.

As part of the review, a record number of Baum Hedlund clients and peers submitted their comments about the trial law firm. Former client A. P. wrote:

"Some of the most caring people in the business. I felt so loved and taken care of by the people here."

David Rapoport, Esq. of the esteemed Rapoport Law Offices also submitted his comments about the firm, writing, "I have known the work of this firm for over thirty years and during that time they have consistently delivered top quality work for their clients."

Mark Burton, Esq. of Audet & Partners, another distinguished attorney, described Baum Hedlund as "One of the top trial firms in the US."

A board-certified neurologist and instructor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, also vouched for the firm:

"Baum Hedlund is a phenomenal law firm, at the cutting edge of product liability litigation. I have worked with them as a medical expert for decades. They do a masterful job leaving no stone unturned in discovery, crossing all the Ts and dotting all the Is (sic). The lawyers are so intelligent and so committed to advocating for their clients."
