Four Goodell DeVries attorneys have been named “Lawyers of the Year” in their respective fields by The Best Lawyers in America, the oldest legal peer-review publication in the nation. Only one lawyer per practice section in large metropolitan areas is recognized as a “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. The following Goodell DeVries attorneys were named “Lawyer of the Year”:
- Donald L. DeVries, Jr. has been named Best Lawyers’ 2013 Baltimore Personal Injury Litigation Defendants “Lawyer of the Year” and was also named Best Lawyers’ 2012 Baltimore Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants “Lawyer of the Year”
- Charles P. Goodell, Jr. has been named Best Lawyers’ 2013 Baltimore Product Liability Litigation – Defendants “Lawyer of the Year” and was also Best Lawyers’ 2011 Baltimore Mass Tort Litigation “Lawyer of the Year”

- Susan T. Preston has been named Best Lawyers’ 2013 Baltimore Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants “Lawyer of the Year”
Best Lawyers began designating “Lawyers of the Year” in the U.S. in high-profile legal practice areas in conjunction with the 15th edition (2009). Lawyers being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the exhaustive peer-review assessments conducted by Best Lawyers 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.
