Podhurst Orseck has once again earned national recognition with six attorneys named in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® by Best Lawyers. Widely considered one of the legal profession’s highest honors, these accolades are based entirely on peer evaluations from top attorneys across the country.
For more than four decades, Best Lawyers has published annual rankings of attorneys who demonstrate exceptional legal skill and commitment to client service. Best Lawyers is built exclusively on confidential peer feedback. Lawyers are evaluated by their professional peers in the same practice area and must maintain consistent support from colleagues to be included in subsequent editions.
This year’s honorees from Podhurst Orseck represent a cross-section of the firm’s deep bench of trial and appellate talent. Recognized in the 2026 edition are:
Among the accolades, Managing Partner Steven C. Marks was named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers for Aviation Law (Miami). This individual honor is awarded annually to just one attorney per practice area and city, highlighting Marks’ leadership in one of the firm’s cornerstone practices.
The recognition also carries special meaning this year, as Best Lawyers included legendary trial lawyer, Robert C. “Bob” Josefsberg posthumously.
The latest Best Lawyers distinctions reaffirm Podhurst Orseck’s standing as a boutique litigation powerhouse, with practices that span commercial disputes, aviation law, class actions, complex torts, and appellate litigation.
