7 Messner Reeves Lawyers Recognized as 2025 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America

Messner Reeves LLP is excited to announce that seven lawyers have been included in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America recognizes associates and other lawyers in their early careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice.

Lawyers recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America are divided by geographic region and practice area. Candidates are only considered for one recognition at a time, either “Ones to Watch” or traditional Best Lawyers awards. “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to “The Best Lawyers” and all hopeful candidates must be nominated, vetted by their peers and undergo an authentication process before they are recognized by Best Lawyers. Lawyers are not required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.

Messner Reeves  would like to congratulate the following lawyers recognized in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America:

Denver, CO:
Alyson Jaen

Amy E. Huff

Greenwood Village, CO:
Jenny Thornton

Costa Mesa, CA:
Desiree Cox

New York, NY:
Mikhail Shah

More About Best Lawyers

Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected lawyer ranking service in the world. For 40 years, Best Lawyers has assisted those in need of legal services to identify the lawyers best qualified to represent them in distant jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties. Best Lawyers awards are published in leading local, regional and national publications across the globe.

Lawyers who are nominated for consideration are voted on by currently recognized Best Lawyers working in the same practice area and located in the same geographic region. Our awards and recognitions are based purely on the feedback we receive from these top lawyers. Those who receive high peer reviews undergo a thorough verification process to make sure they are currently still in private practice. Only then can these top lawyers be recognized by Best Lawyers.
