Chanfrau & Chanfrau was ranked as “Tier One.” Law firms are ranked in tiers, rather than sequentially, and there are three tiers in metro areas, according to the website, bestlawfirms.usnews.com.

Labor law has become a front-page topic with the advent of the #MeToo movement and the creation of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, a press release from the firm stated.
“Much needed attention has been brought to the category overall as the paradigm is shifting toward what is right, just and fair for employees as well as for employers. We are here to help both navigate those sometimes blurry lines to ensure the best possible outcome for the betterment of both,” said Kelly Chanfrau, board certified employment lawyer and Chanfrau & Chanfrau partner. “The recent media attention has breathed new life into this important issue and it’s vital for businesses as well as workers to understand their rights.”
