Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that several of the firm’s attorneys have been named to The Best Lawyers in America® 2020, and two of those honorees have also earned recognition as “Lawyers of the Year.”
The “Lawyer of the Year” recognition is awarded to one attorney in a major practice area in each metropolitan area. Recipients are selected based on particularly impressive peer-review results gathered from other attorneys in the same communities and the same fields. The recognition stands as a reflection of the recipient’s abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
Robins Kaplan recipients of “Lawyers of the Year” for 2020 are Chris Messerly for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs and Tara D. Sutton for Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions – Plaintiffs.
