Michael Daab Named 2027 Family Law "Lawyer of the Year" in Long Island
Michael Daab, a partner in our Garden City office, was named the Best Lawyers® 2027 Family Law "Lawyer of the Year" in Long Island.
Best Lawyers awards this distinction to a single attorney per practice area and region each year, based on the highest overall peer feedback among attorneys already included in that year's Best Lawyers in America® list.
How These Honors Are Determined
Both distinctions are based entirely on peer review. Best Lawyers® surveys practicing attorneys on the professional abilities of other lawyers in the same geographic region and area of law, then confirms each nominee's eligibility before finalizing results. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch™ honorees go through the same review process and have been in practice for fewer than ten years.

We congratulate all our honored attorneys on this recognition.
