The Best Lawyers in America, an annual publication that identifies the top attorneys in the nation, have selected Jackson Spencer Law founder Jennifer Spencer and attorney M. Neal Bridges for 2025 recognitions.
Jennifer was included for employment law – individuals, litigation – labor and employment, and commercial litigation. With the release of this issue, she is celebrating ten years of selection to Best Lawyers.
Similarly, Neal was included for litigation – labor and employment on the publication’s Ones to Watch edition, a distinction given to attorneys who are relatively early in their careers. He has been on the list for three years.
Based on a process that combines independent research and peer feedback, Best Lawyers selects the highest-rated attorneys across the country for inclusion on the annual list. Attorneys are prohibited from paying for a spot on the list. “Ones to Watch” follows a similar methodology.
“We’re honored to be a voice for individuals who are often up against massive organizations with seemingly unlimited legal resources,” Ms. Spencer said. “Selection to Best Lawyers shows that our clients can trust us with their most sensitive matters, and our results prove we have the firepower to make a difference.”
In June, the firm filed a lawsuit against Starbucks Corporation in federal court in Seattle on behalf of Dion Johnson, a U.S. Army veteran. The lawsuit alleges that Johnson was discriminated against and retaliated against for his sex, veteran status, and taking parental leave. During one exchange after his termination, one of Johnson’s supervisors told him, “Maybe having a kid wasn’t the best choice for you.”
This July, Jackson Spencer Law filed a pregnancy discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Trinity Services Group, Inc. and TKC Holdings, Inc. on behalf of Sherri Denise Collins of Houston. The defendants, which provide food services to correctional institutions, refused to honor Collins’ request for an accommodation, resulting in the tragic miscarriages of her infant son and daughter.
