Deutsch Kerrigan is pleased to announce that thirty-five of the firm’s attorneys are recognized in the 2023 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. Additionally, JERRY GLAS (Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions – Defendants), KAREN HOLLAND (Professional Malpractice Law – Defendants), and BILL WRIGHT (Ethics and Professional Responsibility Law) have been selected as a 2023 “Lawyer of the Year”. Only one attorney in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as a “Lawyer of the Year,” and those selected for this honor are based on voting averages received during peer-review assessments for The Best Lawyers in America® for their legal acumen, professionalism, and integrity.
We are also pleased to announce that seven Deutsch Kerrigan attorneys were listed in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch. This recognition is given to attorneys who typically have practiced law for less than a decade and have been nominated by their peers by demonstrating outstanding professional excellence in private practice.
