We are thrilled to announce that our founding partner, Gary M. Weiner, has been selected as the 2027 “Lawyer of the Year” for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law in Springfield, Massachusetts, by The Best Lawyers in America®.
In addition to this top honor, Attorney Weiner is also recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for his ongoing excellence in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law.
A Meaningful Peer-Reviewed Distinction
The “Lawyer of the Year” honor is a particularly meaningful distinction within the legal community. It is awarded to individual attorneys who receive the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is recognized as the "Lawyer of the Year" for each specialty and location.
For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers has operated on a simple, foundational principle: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are. Recognition is determined entirely through a rigorous, exhaustive peer-review process. Awards cannot be bought, there is no fee to be considered, and self-nominations are not permitted.
Because of this stringent methodology, this recognition directly reflects the high level of confidence, respect, and esteem Gary has earned from his fellow lawyers who know his work and understand the complexities of the profession.
Over Two Decades of Excellence
This is not the first time Gary has been recognized by Best Lawyers; he has been consistently listed in The Best Lawyers in America since 2009. He was also previously named a "Lawyer of the Year" for New England in 2025.
A Chapter 7 panel Trustee since 1997, Gary has dedicated his career to helping clients navigate the intricacies of bankruptcy, commercial litigation, and collections. His commitment to achieving the best possible results for his clients, whether through negotiation or litigation, continues to set the standard for bankruptcy practice in Western Massachusetts.
The 2027 recognitions are now public on the Best Lawyers website. You can read more about this year’s announcement and view the full list of recognized lawyers at BestLawyers.com.
