CERRITOS, Calif. —The Cerritos-based law firm of Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo has been included in the 2013 Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, a prestigious guide which ranks the nation’s leading firms and lawyers through a client-focused research methodology based upon thousands of interviews with clients, attorneys, and third-party experts.

The firm was recognized as a leader in the practice area of construction, garnering a tier three ranking and identified for its strength in the public sector, labor and employment, and matters in the education sector.     

“Client satisfaction is, of course, a central component of the goals of our attorneys and also of the culture of our firm. This focus on client satisfaction is evident in the recent Chambers rankings for our Facilities, Construction and Property Practice Group,” observes AALRR Managing Partner James C. Romo.

Three partners from the firm were also recognized for their contributions in the construction practice. Partner Thomas W. Kovacich, who was named in the fourth tier of the guide’s rankings, works in AALRR’s Cerritos office, where he chairs the firm’s Facilities, Construction and Property Practice Group. He is an authority in state and federal public works, wage and hour laws, and has served as lead counsel in more than 50 wage hour actions.
