Robert Clifford, Keith Hebeisen and Kevin Durkin, partners at Clifford Law Offices, were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2011. Clifford, principal partner of the firm, was recognized in the Bet-the-Company Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury Litigation and Product Liability Litigation categories. He was named the 2009 Chicago Personal Injury Litigator of the Year and the 2010 Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers. Hebeisen was listed in the Medical Malpractice field of law, and Hebeisen and Durkin were recognized by their peers in the Personal Injury Litigation area of law along with Clifford. Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become regarded as one of the definitive guides to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast nearly 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Clifford has been named by Best Lawyers in the field of personal injury law since its inception.
