Milwaukee – Robert L. Habush of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. in Milwaukee was recently honored with two of the most prestigious awards in the legal profession. Based on the opinion of his peers, Best Lawyers selected Habush as the “Milwaukee Product Liability Litigator of the Year” for 2011. In addition, Habush was recently honored for 30 years of achieving an AV Preeminent rating, a pinnacle of excellence earned through a peer-review rating program managed by Martindale-Hubbell.

“I am honored to receive these awards from two of the legal profession’s most respected organizations,” said Habush. “Being recognized by my distinguished peers is a great privilege.”

Best Lawyers, one of the oldest and most respected peer-review publications in the legal profession, compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. Only a single lawyer in each legal specialty in each community is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.” The current, 17th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2011) is based on more than 3.1 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. The lawyers 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.

“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,” said Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers. “We would like to congratulate Robert L. Habush on being selected as the ‘Milwaukee Best Lawyers Product Liability Litigator of the Year for 2011.” Habush has been listed in the Best Lawyers in America for 27 consecutive years.

The Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent peer review rating system is one of the world’s most trusted legal resources, and serves as an objective indicator that a lawyer has the highest ethical standards and professional ability.

He has been a fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers, the Inner Circle of Advocates, and is a past President of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (now called the American Association of Justice).
