Maron Marvel ranked as a national first-tier law firm in mass tort litigation in the 2023 edition ofU.S. News – Best Lawyers^® “Best Law Firms.” Additionally, the firm once again achieved top rankings across several practice areas, including mass tort, product liability, personal injury, and commercial litigation, on behalf of defendants, and in multiple metropolitan areas.

Earlier this year, Maron Marvel was recognized by their peers in the 2023 Best Lawyers in America survey, which ranked 24 of our attorneys.

A program of U.S. News – Best Lawyers®, “Best Law Firm” rankings are determined through a rigorous evaluation process involving the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.
 
The highest honor, a Tier 1 ranking, is based on a firm’s overall evaluation. This is derived from a combination of the firm’s clients’ impressive feedback, the high regard that lawyers in other firms in the same practice area have for the firm, and information that firms provide to Best Lawyers via a survey.

To be eligible for a “Best Law Firm” ranking, a firm must have at least one lawyer named in The Best Lawyers in America©. Attorneys are neither required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed. 

Team members from our Wilmington office attended the Special Olympics Delaware “Champions Together” Luncheon, where they made a donation on behalf of the firm. The event provided a space for supporters to connect and potentially invest in the mission of Special Olympics Delaware.

As stated on the organization’s website, “The mission of Special Olympics Delaware is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for more than 4,200 children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.”
