ATLANTA, August 18, 2023 — Freeman Mathis & Gary LLP attorney Douglas Holthus was recently recognized for Civil Rights Law in the Columbus, OH area and attorney Christopher J. Lynch for Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants in the Hartford, CT area by Best Lawyers as the 2024 “Lawyer of the Year.” 

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this a significant and coveted accolade. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments. 

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity. 

Douglas Holthus was also listed in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the following practice areas:
