NEW YORK, June 18, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Legal 500, a guide to the best commercial law firms in the United States, has recognized Bernstein Liebhard & Lifshitz, LLP (www.bernlieb.com) for the second straight year as one of the top six plaintiffs' securities class action firms in the country. According to its editor, The Legal 500 is an independent "guide to 'the best of the best' -- the pre-eminent firms in the world's strongest and most competitive legal market."
Quoting firm clients, The Legal 500 states that "(c)lients are 'impressed by the responsiveness of the firm', as well as by its 'willingness to answer all our questions, and accommodate all our needs.'" One client noted that the firm always provided drafts of documents with sufficient time for pre-filing review, "'even when pleadings were required on short notice.'" According to The Legal 500: "Name partner Stanley Bernstein is a popular attorney among clients, who appreciate his 'candor, intelligence and responsiveness at all times'. William Titelman is praised by clients for his 'acumen', 'legal skills and people skills', while clients single out associate Ann Lipton as 'the primary author of an excellent brief.'"
Partner Mel E. Lifshitz (www.bernlieb.com/attorneys/lifshitz.html) stated: "This honor, coming for the second straight year from an independent evaluator of legal ability based in the UK, demonstrates the firm's international reputation for significant and ongoing achievements on behalf of investors."
