Negotiating with Narcissists Expert Rebecca Zung Named U.S. News Best Lawyer

Every year, Best Lawyers and U.S. News & World Report join forces to recognize the country’s best lawyers and law firms. Rebecca Zung, partner at Long, Murphy & Zung and leading expert on negotiating with narcissists, is proud to announce that she has received this recognition for the fourth year.

In addition to practicing law in both Naples, Florida and Los Angeles, Zung is the author of bestselling books on winning negotiating strategies (to include “Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure-Fire Method to Step Up and Win” and “Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom.”) Her expertise on conflict and negotiations has made her a sought-after major media contributor on television and in print outlets, including Extra TV, Dr. Drew, Good Day New York, CBS Los Angeles, NPR Talk Radio, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time and more.

Zung is no stranger to prestigious awards, having been named a Top1% Lawyer six times by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel. She also received the AV Preeminent rating for family law from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available for this prestigious peer review assessment of attorneys’ legal ability and ethical standards.

Zung said that it is a high honor to accept her fourth “Best Lawyer in America” award as her latest achievement.

“The Best Lawyers publication is the oldest and most respected peer review publication in the legal profession,” said Zung. “To earn this distinction from my peers means a great deal to me, especially in light of my journey into the legal profession.”

Zung’s status as a celebrated attorney seemed completely out of reach to her younger self. As a divorced mother of three in her mid-20s, Zung decided to go to law school. Her dedication allowed her to balance motherhood with schooling and then a successful career in divorce mediation that led her to become one of the most powerful lawyers in the country at the helm of a multi-million dollar law firm.

Zung has devoted herself to helping people trapped in relationships of drama, trauma and chaos move toward lives of freedom, possibility, prosperity and purpose. She shares empowering negotiation strategies through her books and online programming, which has garnered three million YouTube views and 30,000 Instagram followers. Her proven strategies help people work with even the most difficult personalities and emerge with win-win agreements.

Zung’s “Best Lawyer in America” award is the result of exhaustive peer review surveys from tens of thousands of leading lawyers. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate or be recognized.

The Best Lawyers list reaches a broader audience than any competing legal guide and is typically seen by at least 17 million readers. U.S. News & World Report has been collaborating on the “Best Lawyers” and related “Best Law Firms” rankings for the past decade, bringing their 35 years of experience in evaluating complex institutions to help Americans make the most informed decisions about the professionals they hire.
