Kubota & Craig, PC has again been recognized among the nation’s elite law firms—earning Tier 1 rankings in the 2026 Best Law Firms® list for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in Orange County, California.

What This Recognition Represents
The Best Law Firms® list is compiled annually by Best Lawyers® using evaluations from fellow attorneys and verified client reviews. Firms achieving Tier 1 status demonstrate superior skill, responsiveness, and professionalism in their specific practice areas.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful because it comes from our peers and our clients,” said Yoshi Kubota, co-founding partner of Kubota & Craig. “It validates what we strive to do every day—deliver justice for injury victims with the highest ethical and professional standards.”
“We’re honored to represent people during the hardest moments of their lives,” added Cynthia Craig, co-founding partner. “Earning Tier 1 rankings in both Personal Injury and Product Liability shows the consistency of our team’s work and our commitment to results that matter.”

Whether helping a family recover after a devastating car accident or standing up to a manufacturer whose defective product caused harm, the firm’s attorneys combine big-firm trial experience with the personalized attention of a boutique practice.
Local insight matters. Knowing Orange County’s courts, judges, and insurance defense networks helps the firm secure stronger results for its clients. That regional familiarity—combined with decades of courtroom experience—translates into strategy that national firms simply can’t match.
