3 Rivkin Radler Attorneys Recognized by Best Lawyers as 2024 “Lawyers of the Year”

The 2024 edition of Best Lawyers recently recognized Rivkin Radler partners Jill F. Bechtold, Evan H. Krinick and Barry I. Levy as “Lawyers of the Year.” Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this a significant and coveted accolade. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Bechtold received the distinction in the Jacksonville area for Product Liability Litigation-Defendants. In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, Bechtold was also listed in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the following practice areas:

• Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants
• Professional Malpractice Law – Defendants

Krinick was awarded in the Long Island area for Litigation-Insurance. In addition to “Lawyer of the Year,” Krinick was also listed in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the following practice areas:

• Appellate Practice
• Insurance Law

Levy was recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” for Litigation – Health Care. Levy was also listed in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Insurance Law.

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. For more than four decades, Best Lawyers has assisted those in need of legal services to identify the lawyers best qualified to represent them in distant jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties. Lawyers are not required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.
