Janet M. Smith Named as one of Best Lawyers® 2027 "Lawyer of the Year"

Burns & Farrey, P.C. is pleased to announce that Janet M. Smith has been named as one of Best Lawyers® 2027 "Lawyer of the Year" honorees, recognized for Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants

 The "Lawyer of the Year" designation is among the most selective honors. Only one attorney in each practice area and metropolitan market receives it in a given edition, and the recognition is conferred solely on the strength of confidential evaluations by fellow lawyers. In naming Attorney Smith, her peers across Central Massachusetts identified her as the single most highly regarded defense litigator in her field.

Best Lawyers selects honorees through its Purely Peer Review® process, in which attorneys already recognized in the same practice area and market confidentially evaluate nominees. "Lawyer of the Year" is reserved for the single attorney with the highest overall peer feedback in each practice area and metropolitan region, meaning Attorney Smith's peers ranked her first among defense-side personal injury litigators for the 2027 edition.
