Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix, AZ (August 20, 2020) – Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C., a leading Phoenix-based law firm, is pleased to announce that forty-two attorneys have been included in the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, and three attorneys have been listed in the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©: Ones to Watch.

In addition, two of the firm’s attorneys were recognized by Best Lawyers® as a 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas in Phoenix. J. Scott Rhodes was named Best Lawyers® 2021 Litigation – Municipal “Lawyer of the Year” and Jay A. Fradkin was named Best Lawyers® 2021 Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants “Lawyer of the Year.” Only a single attorney in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the "Lawyer of the Year," making this accolade particularly significant. The attorneys are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer-review assessments. 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. Best Lawyers has published its list for over three decades. Attorneys on The Best Lawyers in America© list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers based on professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to ensure they are currently in private practice and in good standing with their state bar. Three of the Firm’s attorneys have been included since the first edition. Congratulations to Timothy W. Barton, John R. Christian, and Bruce B. May for their continued success.
