Nave Law Attorneys Named 2025 Super Lawyers Rising Stars
We’re proud to announce that three Nave Law attorneys have been recognized by Super Lawyers as Rising Stars for 2025 — a distinction reserved for just 2.5% of attorneys in each state who demonstrate exceptional skill, professionalism, and dedication to their clients.
Congratulations to:
• Dennis J. Nave – Criminal Defense: DUI/DWI
• Justin M. Lange – Criminal Defense: DUI/DWI
• Brady J. O’Malley – Personal Injury General: Plaintiff
This recognition reflects their commitment to achieving results, serving with integrity, and fighting tirelessly for the people who trust Nave Law to guide them through some of life’s most difficult moments.
Notably, Dennis J. Nave was the only attorney in Syracuse recognized in the Criminal Defense: DUI/DWI category, and Justin M. Lange was one of only two attorneys in Albany to receive this same honor — a testament to their dedication and impact within their respective regions.

Fast, honest and professional. I had court in 3 days and was about loose my license and Nave Law firm took care of everything and I didn’t even have to go to court. They were worth every penny and I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you again Nave law Firm!
It’s hard to see the “light” after you’re in such an awful position. It’s important to choose a team who will literally be by your side through it all. Working with this firm was the best decision I could have made.

Honest great lawyer, and very empathetic and reasonable. Their Willingness to work with you and help is amazing. Would highly recommend. Not one of those slimy lawyers that milk every dime they can out of you. One of the good ones.
