VanDerGinst Law nets two "Leading Lawyers"

Attorneys Dennis VanDerGinst and G. Trent Marquis have both been honored by their peers by being selected as "Leading Lawyers" within the area of personal injury law. This honor is bestowed on fewer than 5% of all lawyers. Selection is based upon results from a six page survey sent to over 50,000 attorneys. "Having one attorney receive such an honor in a law firm is quite an accomplishment. But, having two lawyers selected as "Leading Lawyers" is an extraordinary distinction", said VanDerGinst, "It is an honor not only for Trent and myself, but for the entire firm. It shows that our peers respect the kind of work that we do. Neither of us could accomplish much without the wonderful support of the other attorneys in the firm and our incredible staff."
