Each year, the Daily Local asks readers throughout Chester County to weigh in on the legal professionals they trust most. It is one of the few recognitions in our region shaped entirely by the community, and that is what makes it meaningful.
We are proud to share that nineteen Unruh Turner Burke & Frees attorneys have been named to the Daily Local‘s 2026 Top Lawyers of Chester County list. Spanning more than a dozen practice areas, this year’s honorees reflect the depth and range of legal counsel our firm has provided to individuals, families, businesses, and municipalities across Chester County and the surrounding region.
From guiding families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, to helping businesses and local governments navigate complex legal questions, these attorneys bring a high level of care, skill, and commitment to every matter they handle. Being named to this list year after year, across so many practice areas, reflects the trust our clients place in us, and we do not take that lightly.
