With 17 years of recognition by Best Lawyers, KDDK Partner Stephen S. Lavallo was named Evansville’s “Lawyer of the Year” for his work with Closely Held Companies and Family Business Law. This was the second year his efforts on behalf of closely held and family businesses have been recognized by Best Lawyers. Best Lawyers also honored Lavallo this year for his work in the practice area of Trusts and Estates. Lavallo has received the most awards from Best Lawyers over the years for his extensive work in Workers’ Compensation Law with the first recognition coming in 2009.
Lavallo represents businesses, both large and small, as well as individuals in a variety of business transactions, organization, sales and leasing of properties, and in the defense of companies from worker’s compensation claims. In addition, he advises individuals in connection with their estate and wealth transfer planning as well as during the process of probate and trust administration. Steve is also a certified civil mediator.
Each year, Best Lawyers conducts an extensive peer-review process to compile a list of best attorneys in a broad range of practice areas based on peer feedback from across the region. “Lawyer of the Year” is awarded to individual attorneys with the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area within their geographic region. As the title suggests, only one attorney is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.
Congratulations Steve!
