Panish Shea & Boyle LLP partner Brian Panish has been included in a “Cover Spotlight” within Southern California’s Best Lawyers 2011 publication. Best Lawyers magazine acknowledges Mr. Panish for his 18-year consecutive win streak as a trial lawyer and “fierce competitor” who represents those affected by another party’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing.
Mr. Panish told Best Lawyers that what is most important to him is “to do something for the clients…there are so many people out there that we’ve made their life better and we’ve made products safer.” Mr. Panish also states that his desire to be competitive motivated him to become an attorney. Mr. Panish began setting records outside of the courtroom in high school as a highly competitive football, basketball and baseball player. He was offered a football scholarship to Fresno State where he played for the school and was recently named a 2010 outstanding alumnus during the school’s centennial celebration.
In the Best Lawyers article, Mr. Panish emphasizes that, similar to having a strong sports team, in order to most effectively represent clients, it is important to have a strong legal team. Mr. Panish states, “We have passion for what we do…it is a team and the key is getting the talented people on the team and then developing them.”
The article also recognizes Mr. Panish’s landmark verdicts, including three out of the four jury awards in California’s legal history exceeding $50 million in compensatory damages, which Mr. Panish obtained.
Brian Panish also received the number-three ranking in the 2010 list of Top 10 Southern California Super Lawyers and has been ranked among the “100 Most Influential Attorneys” in the State of California by The Los Angeles Daily Journal. Mr. Panish was also recently recognized by the California chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates as Lawyer of the Year.
Panish Shea & Boyle LLP partners Brian Panish, Adam Shea, and Kevin Boyle have been selected for inclusion in the 2011 Edition of Southern California’s Best Lawyers®, which is published as a supplement to the Los Angeles Times, in the area of Personal Injury Litigation. Attorneys selected for this honor are also included in The Best Lawyers in America® publication. Lawyers are chosen for the Best Lawyers publication based solely on evaluations by other lawyers – usually those handling cases in the same practice area. Evaluating lawyers are asked which attorney they would refer a friend or relative to if they could not handle a case themselves. Lawyers included on the list “must earn a spot through exemplary legal work that attracts the notice of their colleagues” and, to maintain their place on the list, “they must be at the top of their game year after year.” The listing is considered “the preeminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States.”
