Garfinkel Immigration Law Firm as well as Managing Partner Hannah F. Little and Founding Partner Emeritus Steven H. Garfinkel have all once again been ranked in the 2025 edition of the prestigious and highly selective Chambers USA.
The Firm received a top-level Band 1 designation in the publication’s Immigration in North Carolina Legal Rankings, while Little also received individual Band 1 recognition. Garfinkel, meanwhile, was honored with the esteemed “Senior Statesperson” title.
Chambers identifies the best law firms across the world and is often considered the gold-standard of legal honors because of its comprehensive research process and stringent selection criteria. The organization conducts “thousands of in-depth interviews” a year with in-house counsel, clients and third-party experts.
Firm and attorney rankings are based on seven factors which include technical legal ability; professional conduct; client service; commercial astuteness; diligence; commitment; and “other qualities most valued” by clients.
Firms and attorneys who are ranked in Chambers have “stood out in the most rigorous, independent and in-depth research process of any legal directory on the market and emerged as one of the best” in their practice area.
Garfinkel, who founded the Firm in 1997, and Little were both named to the Business North Carolina (BNC) 2025 Legal Elite list and recently recognized by Best Lawyers® as well as Lexology (Who’s Who Legal) earlier this year.
In addition, Little is certified as a Specialist in Immigration Law by the North Carolina State Bar, the highest level of specialization attainable in N.C. She was also recently honored with the renowned Thought Leader designation by Lexology (formerly known as Who’s Who Legal).
