Berchem Moses PC attorney Floyd J. Dugas was recently recognized by Best Lawyers® as the 2022 “Lawyer of the Year” for Labor Law-Management.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, Floyd J. Dugas was also listed in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for Labor Law – Management.
