Attorneys From The Employment Law Group® Law Firm Honored Again By Best Lawyers
Fourth Consecutive Listing for R. Scott Oswald and Nicholas Woodfield
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 17, 2015) — Praise from fellow attorneys once again propelled R. Scott Oswald and Nicholas Woodfield of The Employment Law Group® into the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America guide.
It was the fourth year in a row that Mr. Oswald and Mr. Woodfield have been honored by Best Lawyers. The prestigious guide conducts a national poll of leading attorneys in each practice area; the 2016 edition is based on more than 6.7 million peer-on-peer evaluations.
As in past years, Mr. Oswald and Mr. Woodfield were recognized for their representation of whistleblowers and other employees who challenge discrimination and wrongdoing in the workplace.
“This honor elevates our entire team," said Mr. Oswald, managing principal of The Employment Law Group. “Our firm's highest reward is always the gratitude of our clients, honorable people who have seen the dark side of the U.S. workplace. But the regard of our peers—some of whom appear with us on this list—is a very welcome validation of our work."
A graduate of The Trial Lawyers College and past president of the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association, Mr. Oswald recently was ranked as one of the Top 100 lawyers in Washington, D.C. He speaks publicly on laws that protect employees, and is quoted frequently by media outlets including The Wall Street Journal.
“To be included in a peer-reviewed guide like Best Lawyers is a great endorsement," said Mr. Woodfield, principal and general counsel of The Employment Law Group. “Many of our potential clients have never hired legal help before and want help picking an attorney who's right for them. Along with client testimonials and other information on our Web site, a listing in Best Lawyers allows them to choose our firm with confidence."
Washingtonian magazine has recognized Mr. Woodfield as one of the “Top Lawyers" in Washington, D.C. He is a frequent speaker, panelist, and media commenter, especially on retaliation claims and the proper application of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Mr. Woodfield is president of the Virginia Employment Lawyers Association.
In addition to being recognized by Best Lawyers, attorneys at The Employment Law Group have received accolades from legal authorities including Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, and American Lawyer Media. The Employment Law Group was chosen by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers for the 2015 listing of “Best Law Firms," and Lawyer Monthly named the firm as Labor & Employment Law Firm of the Year in the United States for three years running.
