Varnum attorneys receive special recognition by Best Lawyers



Each year, The Best Lawyers in America® recognizes a “Lawyer of the Year” for each of the legal practice areas for which it rates attorneys. For 2019, eight Varnum attorneys have been recognized as "Lawyer of the Year" in their respective areas of practice.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant.

Varnum attorneys who have been recognized by their peers as "Lawyer of the Year" for 2019 are:

• Scott D. Alfree: Health Care Law, Grand Rapids

• Christopher A. Ballard: Trusts and Estates, Ann Arbor

• Jeffrey A. DeVree: Litigation and Controversy – Tax, Grand Rapids

• Richard D. Fries: Employment Law – Management, Kalamazoo

• Randall W. Kraker: Litigation – Municipal, Grand Rapids

• Thomas G. Kyros: Trusts and Estates, Grand Rapids

• David K. McLeod: Banking and Finance Law, Ann Arbor

• Steven Weston: Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, Kalamazoo

Best Lawyers® began designating Lawyers of the Year in the U.S. in high-profile legal practice areas in 2009.

According to Best Lawyers®: “Lawyers being honored as ‘Lawyer of the Year'’ are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the exhaustive peer-review assessments we conduct with thousands of leading lawyers each year.”
