Dudensing Law is proud to announce that Founder Ed Dudensing has been named to the 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America guide.
The guide recognizes the nation’s top trial lawyers, selected through research, interviews, and nominations from across the legal profession, and selection generally requires decades of first-chair experience in state and federal court. This year’s guide honored 4,000 litigators nationwide, out of a national bar of nearly 1.4 million licensed attorneys, representing approximately the top 0.3% of litigators in the country. They were recognized for their skill and impact in the courtroom, spanning practices from mass torts and product liability to civil rights and complex commercial litigation. The guide has historically been dominated by defense-side litigators at the country’s largest corporate firms, which makes inclusion particularly notable for a plaintiff lawyer.
Ed Dudensing has spent 22 years trying elder abuse and nursing home neglect cases against long-term care facility operators and the private equity and public real estate investment trust (REIT) companies behind them on behalf of individual families. His trial work has produced historic jury verdicts and multimillion-dollar recoveries for families across California, and his advocacy continues to push for systemic reform in an industry too often shielded from accountability. This recognition reflects both his skill as a litigator and his unwavering commitment to elder justice.
