Band 3
Koren Bell enjoys an excellent reputation for her white-collar criminal defense practice, earning plaudits for her trial and appellate capabilities.

Kori is among the best white collar defense trial lawyers in the country. She is also an outstanding appellate lawyer.

She is a legal rock star.

Koren has a real combination of gritty, detailed focus and a real intellectual approach that I think is unique. I have rarely met someone who cares more about her clients.

When she gets up in court she really shines and thinks about motion practices in a way that not many people do.
