MINNEAPOLIS, MN – April 26, 2010.  Sixteen lawyers from Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2010 (Copyright 2009 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.). Jeffrey R. Ansel, Thomas H. Boyd, Tammera R. Diehm, Edward J. Drenttel, Lloyd W. Grooms, Thomas M. Hart, Richard A. Hoel, Jon J. Hoganson, Geoffrey P. Jarpe, John A. Knapp, Hart Kuller, David P. Pearson, Eric F. Swanson, Thomas A. Walker, Patrick W. Weber and Robert W. Weinstine were chosen for this honor.

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 32,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

It is important to note that the lawyers listed in Best Lawyers have no say in deciding which practice areas they are included in. They are voted into practice areas entirely as a result of the votes they receive from their peers. The subspecialties listed are based on information from a variety of sources.

 Winthrop & Weinstine ranks number one in Minneapolis and Minnesota in Administrative Law, Banking Law, Bankruptcy and Creditor-Debtor Rights Law, Government Relations, and Municipal Law, based on the number of attorneys listed.

The following practice areas and individual Winthrop & Weinstine attorneys were recognized:
