Taft was ranked one of five “Top Local Litigation Firms” to be “highly recommended” in Ohio and in Indiana due to the high number of mentions and for being regarded as being dominant in its particular jurisdiction. In the publication it was noted that, “while certainly not widely acknowledged as a plaintiff firm, Taft has in recent years begun to diversify its portfolio, with specific lawyers attending to plaintiff matters on a selective basis, specifically with respect to personal injury and products liability.”
