About Our Firm

Our Legacy

Our Legacy

In 1950, two World War II veterans and young attorneys, Herb Lacy and Leon Katzen, had a vision—to create a full-service regional law firm that represented each client with unmatched advocacy. They also believed in a philosophy—that being a good lawyer goes beyond the knowledge of the law and must include a dedication and caring for the clients being served. This philosophy is what brought Herb and Leon together over 74 years ago and continues to motivate us each day towards excellence.

Today 17 attorneys and 60 support professionals continue to serve our local, regional, and national clients with empathy and integrity. Lacy Katzen is proud and gratified to have received the highest rating of quality from Martindale-Hubbell, the nation’s leading reviewer of law firms. Additionally, Lacy Katzen is ranked in the 2025 Best Lawyers® Best Law Firms list. Best Law Firms rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.
