Dear Christine G. Albano,

Congratulations again on your recognition by your peers in the 31ˢᵗ edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for your exceptional work in Family Law. Best Lawyers released our 2025 recognitions publicly today. (8/14/2024)

For over 40 years, Best Lawyers has been esteemed by both legal professionals and the public as a premier benchmark for legal integrity and distinction in the United States. Consequently, being recognized by Best Lawyers is a testament to exceptional practice.

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® is determined through a comprehensive peer-review survey. The 31ˢᵗ edition reached a historic milestone with over 250,000 voters having participated in our voting process since we began asking the very best: “If you are unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this lawyer?” To create the awards over 23 million evaluations were analyzed including a record breaking 3 million responses from this year alone. Our commitment to our industry-driven, purely peer-based review process is central to our philosophy, as we believe that the top lawyers are best suited to identify their peers at the highest level.

For information regarding how to share your recognition, please view our publicizing guidelines. Please note you are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be recognized by Best Lawyers.

As a Best Lawyers honoree, you'll have the opportunity to take part in our exclusive voting process for next year’s edition. We appreciate your support in helping us recognize and showcase the top talent in the industry. If you have any questions, please reply to this message, and a member of our Research Team will assist.

Again, congratulations on your well-deserved achievement.

Best,
Phil
