We are proud to announce that Wendy Hess has been recognized by The Best Lawyers of America as the 2018 Immigration Lawyer of the Year for Philadelphia. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers. The Best Lawyers in America is a peer-review publication in the legal profession which partners with many of the highest circulated publications in the world, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribuneand The Philadelphia Inquirer.
According to Best Lawyers, lawyers being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the exhaustive peer-review assessments they conduct with thousands of leading lawyers each year. 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.”
