Santa Barbara-based Cappello & Noël LLP is listed in U.S. News & World Report-Best Lawyers’ “Best Law Firms” 2021 edition. The firm received a Tier 1 (highest) ranking in Santa Barbara County for its work in commercial litigation.

U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers rank more than 14,000 law firms across the United States every year. The rankings are based on an evaluation process that includes client and lawyer evaluations, peer review surveys and review of additional information.

Receiving a Tier 1 designation is the highest level a firm can earn based on feedback from other lawyers and clients in the same communities and in the same practice areas. This is the sixth year Cappello & Noël has been recognized.

In addition, partners Barry Cappello and Leila Noël were included in the 2021 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. In September, Cappello was named one of the “Top 100 Lawyers” in California in 2020 by the Los Angeles/ San Francisco Daily Journal.
