Sussman Shank LLP is proud to announce that seven of the firm’s attorneys have been named to the 2021 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, the oldest, most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
Jeffrey Misley was recognized by Best Lawyers® as the 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
In addition, Tab Wood has been included in the 2021 Edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.
