Dykema is proud to announce that seven of its practitioners have been named “Lawyer of the Year” in the 2014 edition of Best Lawyers in America. The “Lawyer of the Year” honor is exceedingly rare, conferred upon a single attorney in each practice area within a designated metropolitan area.

The “Lawyer of the Year” commendation testifies to the respect earned by these practitioners from leading lawyers in that same practice within each community.
