MILWAUKEE – Three Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorneys, Randal N. Arnold, Michael P. Malone and Tomislav Z. Kuzmanovic, all in Hinshaw's Milwaukee, Wisconsin office, have been honored by Law & Politics’ publication, Wisconsin Super Lawyers and Rising Stars 2006, as Super Lawyers. This designation places them in the top 5% of all licensed attorneys in the State of Wisconsin.
Mr. Malone, the Partner-in-Charge of Hinshaw's Milwaukee office, was further honored by being named as one of the "Top 50 Super Lawyers" in the State of Wisconsin. In addition, Mr. Kuzmanovic was profiled as the subject of "A Small Part to Play," an article in the magazine describing his litigation practice and his human rights work on behalf of independent Croatia.
More than 11,000 Wisconsin attorneys received ballots asking them to nominate the best attorneys that they had personally seen in action. Point values were then assigned for each vote, with more emphasis placed on votes from outside an attorney’s firm. Nominees are split into more than 50 areas of practice, and the members of each area of practice with the highest total number of points form a “blue ribbon panel” which reviews and gives points to the nominees from each primary practice area. In addition to the balloting process, Law & Politics conducts further research to identify the top lawyers in different areas, reviewing peer recognition, professional achievement, and the discipline record of nominated attorneys.
The point totals from the general survey, research process and blue ribbon panel review were added to arrive at a final point total for each candidate.
The Milwaukee attorneys appear in three of the primary Super Lawyer areas of practice for 2006.
