Congratulations to Partners Mano DeAyala and Robert Paddock on their recognition by Best Lawyers in America®.
Best Lawyers® is an elite global network of legal professionals recognized through trusted, peer-reviewed distinction. For over four decades, their methodology has upheld the principle that recognition should be earned through the opinions of fellow attorneys, not marketing influence or paid listings.
Each year, more than 13 million confidential evaluations are collected worldwide, contributing to one of the legal industry’s most rigorous and trusted vetting processes. Only about 5% of lawyers in the United States and 3% globally are recognized, reflecting the selectivity and credibility of the results. Proprietary safeguards are in place to reduce bias and uphold the accuracy of the peer feedback. For the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than 26 million evaluations were analyzed. The Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America recognitions were determined based on more than 5.4 million evaluations.
No fees are accepted for consideration or inclusion, maintaining the integrity and independence of all recognitions.
Buck Keenan is distinguished by its depth of experience and consistent record of success in high-stakes litigation matters. Congratulations to our team on their accomplishments.
