PDFPlunkett Cooney attorneys named ‘Leading Lawyers’
Leading Lawyers magazine recently named 27 attorneys from Plunkett Cooney, one of the Midwest’s oldest and largest law firms, to its
inaugural list of “Leading Lawyers” in Michigan.
Published quarterly, Leading Lawyers Magazine is a division of the Law Bulletin Publishing Company, which has served the legal and business communities of the Chicago area since 1854. Starting in Illinois and eventually expanding worldwide, Leading Lawyers provides assistance with selecting highly-qualified attorneys.
When compiling the list of Leading Lawyers, the publisher surveyed lawyers, asking them which of their peers they would recommend to family members or friends if they could not take a case within their area of law or geographic region. To maintain the quality and credibility of the survey, lawyers were not allowed to nominate themselves or anyone at their own law firm. Based upon these nominations and approval by the Leading Lawyers Advisory Board, only the top lawyers are nominated and eligible for membership.
Below is a list of Plunkett Cooney’s attorneys who have received the 2015 Leading Lawyer designation:
