MADISON — The law firm of DeWitt Ross & Stevens S.C., today announced three of its most seasoned attorneys have been recognized by the national publication, Best Lawyers in America, as 2012 Madison Lawyers of the Year.
Best Lawyers is designating “Lawyers of the Year” in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.” It has named the following three DeWitt Ross & Stevens attorneys:
Donald Leo Bach, 2012 Madison Water Law Lawyer of the Year;
John Rashke, 2012 Madison Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law Lawyer of the Year;
Troy A. Mayne, 2012 Madison Real Estate Law Lawyer of the Year.
Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2012) is based on more than 3.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
The lawyers being honored as “Lawyers of the Year” have received particularly high ratings in the surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity. Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, “We continue to believe – as we have believed for more than 25 years – that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession.”
DeWitt Ross & Stevens S.C. is one of the top ten law firms in Wisconsin. It has nearly 90 attorneys practicing in Madison and Metropolitan Milwaukee in a variety of legal areas and has the experience to service clients of all scopes and sizes.
