Once again, Pabst Patent Group (PPG) partners Patrea Pabst, Rivka Monheit and Bob Hodges have been awarded the distinction of inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America©, a prestigious guide highlighting top-tier legal talent in the U.S.

Ms. Monheit has been recognized in the Best Lawyers in America© every year since 2016, and Ms. Pabst and Dr. Hodges have both been recognized consecutively for more than 15 years. In the 28th edition of this authoritative list, Ms. Pabst and Ms. Monheit are recognized for their excellence in Patent Law, and Dr. Hodges for his expertise in Biotechnology and Life Sciences.

“We are so pleased that Best Lawyers in America has once again recognized the hard work and exceptional talent of three of our attorneys,” said PPG Chief Operating Officer Eli Monheit. “Given their tremendous experience, innovation, and resourcefulness in the field, we are not surprised to see Patrea, Rivka and Bob once again receive these high honors. We congratulate all three on their accomplishments.”

Since its initial publication in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the most respected referral list of attorneys currently practicing. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on peer-review evaluations; lawyers are not allowed to pay a fee to be listed. Candidates who are nominated for consideration are voted on by currently recognized lawyers working in the same practice area and located in the same geographic region. For the 2022 list, Best Lawyers received over 10 million evaluations on the legal abilities of lawyers based on their practice-specific areas. Inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
