Collins Einhorn Lands 3 on Michigan Super Lawyers® List Among Top Professional Liability Attorneys

Oct. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Three attorneys from Southfield-based Collins, Einhorn, Farrell & Ulanoff (www.ceflawyers.com) were recognized by Super Lawyers® as top attorneys in the professional liability practice area in Michigan for 2009.  Brian Einhorn, Michael Sullivan and Theresa Asoklis all earned repeat selections.

For more than three decades, Einhorn, who also earned this honor in 2007 and 2008, has been at the forefront of legal issues affecting lawyers, judges, courts, businesses and insurers.  He has litigated numerous court cases and disciplinary proceedings that have shaped Michigan law with issues ranging from lawyers’ potential liability to clients for defamation, to judicial candidates’ free speech rights.  Additionally, the Royal Oak resident, who has tried more than 100 cases to verdict, provides crisis management services to clients confronted with legal issues giving rise to unwelcome media attention.  

Sullivan, who has now been recognized as a top attorney in Super Lawyers for four consecutive years, has more than 25 years of litigation and trial experience.  In the professional liability arena, he has defended attorneys, physicians, accountants, architects, engineers, real estate appraisers, real estate brokers, and title agents in defense of significant claims involving personal injury, property damage and business loss.  The Bloomfield Hills resident also has substantial experience in product liability litigation, and maintains an active general civil litigation practice, including business disputes, insurance disputes, and personal injury defense.  In the field of business litigation, Sullivan represents parties in commercial disputes, including tier one and tier two automotive suppliers in disputes with vendors and purchasers.

Asoklis has focused her practice on the defense of legal malpractice claims, and attorney and judicial disciplinary proceedings for almost 20 years.  The Clinton Township resident maintains an active general liability defense practice, including claims arising out of auto and trucking accidents, and complex premises liability matters.  She has successfully tried many legal malpractice, auto negligence, first party no-fault, premises liability, insurance coverage, and attorney fee disputes. Asoklis also has prevailed in a number of significant appellate opinions in the legal malpractice, insurance coverage, and judicial disciplinary arenas.

The attorneys featured in Michigan Super Lawyers magazine are selected though a multi-step process.  Candidates are nominated through a survey of more than 30,000 attorneys, direct contact with law firms and by reviewing trade journals, periodicals, databases and online sources.  A blue ribbon panel of the top attorneys in each respective practice area evaluates the candidates.  The final selection is then made by dividing the candidates by their firm size and selecting the top 5 percent.
