The 2026 edition of Best Lawyers recognized 30 Hueston Hennigan attorneys.
Sixteen lawyers were honored on the “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America” list, and 14 were named to “The Best Lawyers in America” list. Additionally, John Hueston was recognized as a 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” in Los Angeles in two categories – Criminal Defense: White-Collar and Trade Secrets Law. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” so it’s quite rare for one lawyer to be recognized with two “Lawyer of the Year” accolades.
