As of my last update in January 2022, it's difficult to provide an updated list of the top lawyers in the USA as this can change frequently due to various factors including high-profile cases, shifts in expertise, and personal achievements. However, some lawyers and law firms have consistently been recognized for their excellence in various fields of law. Here are a few:
David Boies - Known for his work in high-profile cases, including representing Al Gore in Bush v. Gore and various antitrust and intellectual property cases.
Ted Olson - A former Solicitor General of the United States, Olson has argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court and is known for his appellate advocacy.
Roberta Kaplan - Known for her work in civil rights cases, including successfully arguing United States v. Windsor before the Supreme Court, which struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Neal Katyal - A former Acting Solicitor General, Katyal has argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court and is known for his expertise in constitutional law.
Gloria Allred - A high-profile women's rights attorney known for representing clients in cases involving sexual harassment, discrimination, and other civil rights violations.
Alan Dershowitz - A well-known criminal defense attorney and legal commentator who has represented high-profile clients and has written extensively on legal and constitutional issues.
Tom Girardi (although his reputation has been tarnished due to legal issues as of my last update).
These are just a few examples, and there are many other talented lawyers across the USA who excel in their respective fields. Keep in mind that the "top" lawyers can vary depending on the criteria used for evaluation, such as expertise, success rate, public recognition, and impact on legal precedents.
