Dallas, Nov. 6, 2020 – U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers® have once again put their prestigious stamp on Berry Appleman & Leiden, LLP (BAL) as a top National Immigration Law Firm on their annual “Best Law Firms” list.

BAL earned the highest “Tier 1” recognition in the 2021 national rankings in immigration law and in three regional rankings for Houston, San Francisco and Oakland. The firm also expanded its recognition to additional regional rankings in the northeast and central regions, including BAL’s offices in Boston, Dallas, New York and Washington, D.C.

“We’re proud to be among the elite who are recognized in the top tier of the Best Law Firms– the best of the best in the field of immigration law,” says BAL Partner Rob Caballero.

The pioneering law firm continues to grow and innovate despite the huge challenges presented by COVID-19. This year, BAL swept several #1 legal rankings, won highly prized tech awards, expanded its Texas footprint, opened a new office in Chicago and is poised to grow its Silicon Valley presence. Earlier this year, 13 BAL attorneys earned “Best Lawyers in America” rankings and five up-and-coming BAL attorneys earned bragging rights as “Ones to Watch” by Best Lawyers.

 “This has been an incredible year for our firm, and we are not just surviving but thriving in the face of challenges,” says Managing Partner Jeremy Fudge. “We live by our motto, ‘Pursue the Exceptional,’ and we are never satisfied. We have more to accomplish and more work to do as attorneys, as human beings and as a law firm to make a positive difference in people’s lives and in the world.”
