trial lawyer litigator awards imageThe law firm of David Oestreicher has been nominated by the Trial Lawyers Board of Regents for a 2014 Litigator Award. The awards, presented in 72 specialty practice categories, are based strictly on actual verdict and settlement dollar achievements.

Those who are awarded are recognized as star lawyers, who have triumphed in winning million, multi-million or billion dollar cases — a feat achieved by fewer than one-percent of all lawyers.

The 2014 Litigator Awards will be announced on January 15, 2015.
