Attorney Christopher Krimmer is Named 2022 Lawyer of the Year in the area of Family Law by Best Lawyers®
Attorney Christopher Krimmer was recently recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2022 Lawyer of the Year for Family Law in Madison. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year”, making this accolade particularly significant. 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.
In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, Christopher S. Krimmer was also listed in the 2022 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America in the practice area of family law.
