Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named several attorneys as the Greater Hartford "Best Lawyers Lawyer of the Year" in their respective areas of practice for 2020.

Andrew Wizner, of Leete, Kosto & Wizner, is recognized as a "Lawyer of the Year" in the field of immigration law.

After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating "Lawyers of the Year" in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the "Lawyer of the Year."

Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 26th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2020) is based on more than 8.3 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The lawyers being honored as "Lawyers of the Year" have received particularly high ratings in their surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, has explained, "We continue to believe - as we have believed for more than 25 years - that recognition by one's peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession."
