The December 2011 issue of Washingtonian, in its survey of the top lawyers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, listed Lynne Bernabei and Dave Wachtel among the top 17 lawyers who represent employees in employment discrimination cases (“Suing the Boss: Unjustly fired or the victim of harassment at work?”), and also recognized them among the top 16 civil rights lawyers (“Fight for your rights: gender, racial, religious, and other forms of discrimination are battled by these stars of the civil-rights bar”).

Indeed, only 3 other attorneys were listed in both categories. The Washingtonian has previously listed Lynne and Dave as top employment and civil rights lawyers in its earlier surveys.
