39 Dilworth Attorneys Recognized in 2025 Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch

Dilworth Paxson LLP is proud to announce that 39 of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch®. The attorneys represent four of the firm’s offices throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

“Dilworth is honored to have more than 35 of its lawyers across many different practice groups and offices recognized by their peers as Best Lawyers or Ones to Watch,” said Dilworth Paxson LLP Co-Managing Partner, Patrick M. Northen. “It confirms what we already know: that today’s Dilworth attorneys are carrying forward the tradition of legal excellence that has defined our law firm for more than 90 years.”

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become highly regarded as a guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers is based on detailed peer-review surveys, in which tens of thousands of leading attorneys vote on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. Since lawyers are neither required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
