GDBBD has long been recognized as one of the top plaintiffs' firms in the country. As early as 1992, the National Law Journal ("A National Who's Who of the Top Lawyers in Employment Litigation") called the firm "In a league of their own on the plaintiffs' side, handling the largest class actions nationwide." More recently,
The Recorder, in San Francisco, listed all of the firm's partners as among the "top attorneys" in employment law in the San Francisco Bay Area.
