Lacy Katzen LLP attorney Robin L. Folts has been recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” for Elder Law in Rochester-NY.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this a significant and coveted accolade. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.
Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity.
In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, Robin is listed in the 2021-2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® in the Elder Law practice area. Other honors include being named in The Daily Record and Rochester Business Journal’s “Power 20 Trusts and Estates” list from 2022-2025 as well as inclusion in the Super Lawyers list as an “Upstate New York Rising Star” from 2013-2020.
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, Jacqueline M. Thomas in 2022, and David D. MacKnight in 2025. To have FOUR 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.
See the Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers websites for a description of the selection methodology.
