Burner Prudenti Law is proud to announce that seven of our lawyers were named either a 2025 Best Lawyer or a Best Lawyer: One to Watch for their respective practice areas. Best Lawyers relies on peer reviews to evaluate each attorney, asking other lawyers questions such as, “How likely would you be to refer a case to this nominee?” This award is therefore a true testament to the respect and accomplishments every winning attorney has gathered in their fields.

Our partners Nancy Burner, Esq. and Britt Burner, Esq. have been recognized as 2025 Best Lawyers in the practice areas of Elder Law and Trusts & Estates. This is Nancy’s 11th consecutive year being honored for Setauket, NY and Britt’s third year being honored for New York, NY.

This year, Nancy was also recognized as “Lawyer of the Year” for Elder Law on Long Island. Only one lawyer in each practice area for each region is named as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making it an exceptional distinction. Nancy previously earned this honor in 2020 and 2023.

Congratulations are also in order for our attorney Gina Raio Bitsimis, Esq. for her recognition on the 2025 Best Lawyers list in the practice area of Trusts and Estates in Setauket, NY.

Lastly, we wish to celebrate our four Burner Prudenti Law, P.C. attorneys who were recognized as The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch for the 2025 edition.
