Two picked for The Best Lawyers in America, seven for companion Ones to Watch List

Two attorneys with the personal injury law firm Zehl & Associates have earned repeat honors from The Best Lawyers in America legal guide, and seven were selected to the companion Ones to Watch list for attorneys in their first decade of practice.

Firm founder Ryan Zehl was selected for excellence in insurance litigation, plaintiffs personal injury litigation and plaintiffs product liability litigation. Misha Paltiyevich is a repeat honoree, selected in the admiralty and maritime law categories.

Five 2027 Ones to Watch were return selections from a year ago. Lamar DeLong, Paige Lawrence, Boston Mallory, Justin Waldo and Justin Warner all were recognized for their work representing personal injury plaintiffs, as was first-time honoree Michael Samaniego. Bryan Zubay made the Ones to Watch list in five practice areas: appellate, commercial litigation, energy law, oil and gas law, and plaintiffs personal injury litigation.

“This list, which includes nine of our attorneys, reflects our deep bench of seasoned attorneys and up-and-coming lawyers who are on the way to being Best Lawyers in their own right,” Mr. Zehl said. “I’m proud of each of them and look forward to their continued accomplishments.”

With Mr. Zehl at the forefront, Zehl and Associates has enjoyed spectacular courtroom success in recent years, winning record judgments and settlements for oilfield accidents, truck accidents, auto accidents and maritime accidents.

Best Lawyers honors the top 5% of lawyers each year based on peer reviews and professional accomplishments. Ones to Watch honorees generally have been practicing from five to nine years. For the complete 2027 list of Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch, visit https://www.bestlawyers.com.
