We’ve selected six Lawyers of the Year for portraits and to share trends in their legal specialties and a quotation that has inspired them in their work.

Notable trend: Mediation has been very successful in resolving most personal injury cases short of trial. It helps that lawyers in this practice area have had cases together before and have built good working relationships. The cases that proceed to trial usually involve a significant liability or medical causation issue. In most instances though, mediation, rather than trial, is the defining moment in a case. The qualities that make a good trial lawyer — preparation, the ability to relate to people, the ability to think on one’s feet — make for a successful outcome at mediation.
