JJS ATTORNEYS RECOGNIZED AS AMONG TOP IN THE NATION

Janet, Jenner & Suggs attorneys continue to be recognized as some of the nation’s top lawyers,

Principals Howard Janet and Robert Jenner were named “Maryland Super Lawyers”® for 2008.  This is the second consecutive year they earned this recognition. Jenner was also named among the “Top 50” Super Lawyers® in Maryland. 

In addition, Stephen Offutt, also a partner in the firm, was named to the 2008 Super Lawyers® list.

Super Lawyers® identifies the top five percent of attorneys in the state using a rigorous peer review selection and balloting process, conducted by Law & Politics. Nominees are selected by a survey of their peers and evaluated for their professional achievement and accomplishments in their respective areas of practice.

Principal Ken Suggs again made the list of “Best Lawyers,” an annual publication that evaluates and ranks the nation’s top attorneys based on peer-reviews and other professional criteria. Suggs has been listed since 1991.

In July, Suggs received the Harry M. Philo Award from the American Justice Association (formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America), the organization’s highest honor. The award is presented annually to a person who has made “an outstanding contribution to the safety and protection of American consumers and our civil justice system,” according to AJA. 

Suggs also received the Founders Award from the South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association.  The annual award recognizes that member of the South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association whose work in the law for more than 30 years has made him a leader of the trial bar, one of America’s great teachers of trial advocacy, and who has earned the highest reputation in terms of ethics and honesty in the legal community.
