M&R L.A. joins OC and NYC as being named a “Best Place to Work.” The Los Angeles Business Journal just bestowed this moniker on the L.A. office, a reflection of the firm’s commitment to and value of its people, from the most senior attorneys to support staff.

It bears repeating—at M&R, employees find fulfillment not just from their work, but from their workplace as well. This most recent recognition by the LABJ demonstrates that that is certainly the case in our L.A. headquarters.
Congratulations to our L.A. team and the entire firm.

Vault has recognized M&R in its 2023 rankings, which are among the most trusted resources for lawyers and law students looking for the best law firms to practice their craft. For 2023, Vault has shined a particular light on M&R, listing it among the top 20 midsize law firms for attorney satisfaction, training, wellness, hours, compensation and culture—this out of the thousands of similarly sized law firms. Congratulations and thank you to each and every one of our lawyers and staff members who have helped M&R rise to the top.

Mona Hanna—M&R’s Orange County Firm Managing Partner and National Complex & Class Action Trial Chair—has been included in the Orange County Business Journal‘s Leaders of Influence, Women in Law edition, solidifying her status as one of the premier litigators in the country yet again.

The Los Angeles Business Journal continues to honor Sanford Michelman, most recently by naming him a “Top 100 Lawyer” for 2022. This comes on the heels of Sanford being designated as the LABJ’s “Litigation Attorney of the Year” in 2021 and his inclusion in the publication’s exclusive LA500, a list of the most influential people in the City of Angels.

All of us at Michelman & Robinson, LLP congratulate Sanford on this most recent honor, the meaningful impact he’s had upon the legal industry, the remarkable successes he’s realized on behalf of his extraordinary clients, and his important contributions to the community.
