Congratulations to Robert L. Jackstadt, Tueth Keeney shareholder, recently selected by Leading Lawyers Network as one of the top lawyers licensed in Illinois. Robert Jackstadt was selected as one of the top Lawyers in the state of Illinois in the area of Construction Law, in the "Leading Lawyers" 2009 edition released June 1, 2009.
The Leading Lawyers Network, a division of the Law Bulletin Publishing Company, conducted an extensive statewide survey of Illinois lawyers, asking them to recommend their peers in one of 87 areas of law. Lawyers could not nominate themselves or lawyers at their own firm. Only those lawyers who were most often recommended by their peers achieved the distinction of being recognized as a Leading Lawyer. "This is a very strong list of the state's top lawyers," said Scott Anderson, director of the Leading Lawyers Network.
