Sussman Shank LLP is proud to announce that ten of our attorneys have been named to the 2024 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, the oldest, most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
Thomas Christ was recognized by Best Lawyers® as the 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” for Litigation – First Amendment; and Howard Levine was named 2024 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Litigation – Bankruptcy. The “Lawyer of the Year” award is reserved for only one attorney in each practice area and geographic region, 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 2024 edition of Best Lawyers®: Ones to Watch for Commercial Litigation and Transportation Law. Best Lawyers®: Ones to Watch recognizes lawyers who are early in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.
Congratulations to Darin Honn and Matthew Parkin for their first year being recognized in the Best Lawyers® list.
