Best, Vanderlaan & Harrington is the evolution of a practice started by Jim Best over 30 years ago. The firm concentrates in litigation, including all types of tort litigation, commercial litigation, employment law, toxic torts, municipal law, medical malpractice, and professional negligence. For a number of our insurance clients we handle first party, property and bad faith claims, and act as coverage counsel. We are active trial lawyers with a proven track record. Jim Best has tried to verdict numerous multi-party and complex cases, including many fatality cases and several serious brain damage cases in recent years.

Lori Vanderlaan, Alison Harrington and the other partners have teamed with Jim to obtain the firm's litigation and trial success.
