Belleville attorneys John Hipskind and Brady McAninch have both been named 2022 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.
Their firm, Hipskind & McAninch LLC, announced that both partners were selected to the nationally recognized list with Hipskind being named a Super Lawyer in Illinois and McAninch being named a Rising Star in Illinois and Missouri.
This is the seventh year in a row that Hipskind and McAninch have been selected for the Super Lawyers list.
“Brady and I are always honored - and humbled - to be recognized by our clients and peers; that’s why we started our firm, to provide our clients with top-notch service,” Hipskind stated. “While recognition is never the reason, we do what we do, it is a reminder that your work is making a difference for others.”
“We feel beyond lucky to be able to wake up and do what we do every day,” McAninch added. “Working with our clients is a dream come true. Being recognized for that work? Truly an honor to do what we do, who we do it with, and who we do it for.”
Hipskind and McAninch acknowledged head paralegal Jennifer Poenitske for her hard work and dedication.
“She puts as much of her heart and soul into this work as we do,” Hipskind stated.
“She makes what we do possible,” McAninch added.
Super Lawyers is a rating service that recognizes attorneys who have reached a high level of professional achievement. The selection process involves peer evaluations and nominations, independent research and third party feedback.
The Rising Stars list includes the “elite of the elite,” a press release states.
While only 5 percent of attorneys are chosen as Super Lawyers, only 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
