Lacy Katzen LLP attorney David D. MacKnight has been recognized by Best Lawyers® as the 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights/Insolvency and Reorganization Law in Rochester, New York.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated region is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. The Lawyer of The Year is the lawyer who receives the highest number of votes during a peer review process involving other attorneys recognized as Best Lawyers in the same field and area.
Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same community for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
David D. MacKnight has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America for over 30 years. He received the William McKnight award for pro bono service in 2018.
Lacy Katzen LLP is particularly proud of this latest accolade as the recognition was bestowed upon our own Peter T. Rodgers in 2013, 2017, 2023, and Jacqueline M. Thomas in 2022. To have THREE of our attorneys receive the “Lawyer of the Year” recognition in such challenging practice areas speaks volumes of their dedication and hard work on behalf of our clients.
