Frank Petro recognized on the Best Lawyers® list for twenty-eighth consecutive year; Samuel A. Scimeca joins law firm

NORTHFIELD, NJ – August 19, 2021 – Petro Cohen, P.C. is delighted to announce that Frank A. Petro, Esq. has once again been recognized on the Best Lawyers in America list for 2022, marking his twenty-eighth consecutive year on the prestigious list.  Announced this week in the Best Lawyers in America publication, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, the Best Lawyers list has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence since first published in 1983.

The Best Lawyers list has earned the respect of the legal profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries. Lawyers named on the Best Lawyers in America list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

As a founder of Petro Cohen, P.C., Frank Petro heads the Workers’ Compensation Department for the firm. Throughout his 45+ year career, Mr. Petro has garnered numerous accolades and is widely respected throughout the region as a top workers’ compensation attorney in New Jersey.

Mr. Petro is certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Workers’ Compensation Law Attorney, the highest specialty certification available to NJ workers’ compensation lawyers. He has held this distinction since the State of New Jersey first issued the certification for workers’ comp in 1998.

For 28 years, Mr. Petro has been named to the Best Lawyers in America list for workers’ compensation claimants, a distinction held by only 14 lawyers throughout the country.  He is one of only four workers’ compensation attorneys in New Jersey to be named on the list, and the only NJ attorney to be named for 28 consecutive years.

Mr. Petro is a former President of the leading professional organization for NJ workers’ compensation lawyers and judges, The Justice James H. Coleman, Jr.  New Jersey Workers’ Compensation American Inn of Court, and served as one of 38 National Trustees for the American Inns of Court Foundation, the nation’s leading professional organization promoting legal excellence, professionalism, ethics, and civility for United States judges and lawyers.

In addition to Best Lawyers in America, Mr. Petro has been recognized in the area of workers’ compensation for 17 consecutive years on the Super Lawyers® list.  For 21 consecutive years, Mr. Petro also has held a Preeminent (“A/V”) rating from the world’s leading lawyer referral service, Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating available to attorneys for skills and ethics.  Mr. Petro also has a Superb rating from AVVO, an online legal services marketplace.
