Flicker, Kerin, Kruger & Bissada LLP is proud to announce our inclusion in the 2025 Best Law Firms in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. We appreciate the hard work of our outstanding attorneys and staff, who helped us earn this recognition as a Tier 1 Family Law firm.
U.S. News & World Report is a third-party rating service that reviews exceptional law firms and recognizes the top firms in the country based on feedback.
How Best Law Firms® Rankings are Determined
- A firm must have at least one lawyer recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America® to become eligible for a Best Law Firms® award.
- As part of the formal research process, a law firm is analyzed based on:
- Feedback from clients and professional references re. the firm’s expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility and whether they would refer another client to the firm;
- Firmographic information supplied by the firm;
- Lawyer evaluations collected during the Best Lawyers® research process;
- Data collected from Best Lawyers ballots, which can only be completed by lawyers who are currently recognized by Best Lawyers;
- Industry leader interviews – Managing Partners and practice group leaders are invited to provide their assessments of the legal landscape.
Explaining Tiered Rankings
The quantitative and qualitative data is combined into an overall Best Law Firms® score for each firm. Since firms were often separated by small differences in overall score, US News & World Report uses a tiered system rather than ranking law firms sequentially.
Awards are tied to a specific area of law and are segmented as follows:
- Metro Tiers 1-3
- National Tiers 1-3
- “Law Firm of the Year”
Flicker, Kerin, Kruger & Bissada LLP was recognized as a Tier 1 law firm for Family Law in the San Jose metro area. “The 2025 rankings incorporate more than 23 million evaluations of more than 118,000 individual leading lawyers from more than 22,000 firms.”*
