Scott P. Schomer, Esq. has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers in America for Trusts and Estates in Los Angeles. This is Scott’s first Best Lawyers recognition, and it places him among the top 5 percent of attorneys nationwide who earn this distinction.
What Best Lawyers in America Recognizes
Best Lawyers in America is one of the oldest and most respected peer-review guides in the legal profession. Unlike advertising-based rankings, attorneys cannot apply or pay for inclusion. Instead, lawyers are evaluated through confidential surveys completed by other attorneys practicing in the same jurisdiction and specialty. For Los Angeles trusts and estates attorneys, that means the recognition reflects how Scott is regarded by the colleagues who see his work firsthand, including opposing counsel, co-counsel, and fellow practitioners handling similar matters across the region.
Because the process relies on peer input rather than self-nomination, Best Lawyers in America is generally considered a more reliable signal of professional reputation than rankings built from client reviews or marketing spend alone. Attorneys are asked to evaluate peers on criteria such as legal knowledge, judgment, communication ability, and overall competence, and only a small percentage of lawyers surveyed in each specialty ultimately earn inclusion.
Why This Recognition Matters for Estate Planning Clients
Choosing a trusts and estates attorney is not like choosing a vendor for a one-time transaction. Estate planning and trust administration often involve a relationship that spans years, sometimes decades, and can touch on sensitive family dynamics, tax planning, incapacity, and the eventual distribution of a family’s assets. Peer recognition offers families a way to evaluate an attorney’s reputation that goes beyond a polished website or client testimonial.
For families in Los Angeles researching estate planning attorneys, a Best Lawyers in America listing is one data point worth considering alongside an attorney’s experience, credentials, and the specific services a firm offers, from revocable living trusts to trust administration and probate.
