PHILADELPHIA - Nov. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- National law firm Chamberlain Hrdlicka is pleased to announce that it again has been named a “Best Law Firm” by U.S. News – Best Lawyers for 2016, achieving national Tier 1 rankings in the practice areas of tax litigation and trusts and estates law, as well as national rankings for immigration law and tax law.
