Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named Humbert J. Polito Jr. as the 2015 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiff’s in the New London, Connecticut area.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is designated as the “Lawyer of the Year” making this accolade particularly significant. The lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessment.
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, 21st edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2015), is based on more than 5.5 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
Steven Naifeh, CEO 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. We would like to congratulate Bert Polito on being selected as the Best Lawyers© 2015 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiff’s in the New London area.
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.
