We’re pleased to announce that shareholders Stuart Somach and Sarah Klahn were selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© 2019 directory.
In addition, Stuart Somach was named the Best Lawyers® 2019 Water Law “Lawyer of the Year” in Sacramento. Only a single lawyer in each practice area per surveyed region may receive this award.
Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey and attorneys are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion is considered a singular honor. The firm has been named since 1995 as follows:
