Trantolo & Trantolo is pleased to announce attorneys Keith Trantolo and Ron Etemi have been selected for the 2015 Connecticut Rising Stars list. Each year, the team at Super Lawyers compiles this list, which is composed of no more than 2.5 percent of the state’s attorneys.A Thomson Reuters business, Super Lawyers rates the country’s top-level attorneys from more than 70 practice areas. Those selected have achieved a high degree of success, including peer recognition and professional achievements. Their annual decision comes together through a patented multi-phase process, which includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. What results is a credible, comprehensive, and diverse list of the most exceptional attorneys in each field.
Lists are then published on a national level in Super Lawyers Magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers. The magazine further features editorial profiles of some of the country’s most prominent attorneys.
Graduating from the University of Massachusetts School of Law, Atty. Trantolo represents the third generation of his family to practice law. Atty. Trantolo has garnered a reputation as an outstanding trial attorney with significant experience in the courtroom, and has won court verdicts and negotiated sizeable awards for his clients.
Atty. Trantolo’s achievements have earned him membership in the National Trial Lawyers’ Top 40 Under 40, an invitation-only list extended to exemplary trial lawyers practicing civil plaintiff or criminal defense law, and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an exclusive group of lawyers who have brought in million dollar-plus awards for their clients.
Atty. Etemi, a graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Law, first practiced for a large defense litigation firm and for Judge Richard Robinson of the Connecticut Appellate Court. Through his experience, he developed an understanding of strategies insurance companies employ to defeat meritorious injury claims and, in practicing at Trantolo & Trantolo, has applied that knowledge to his plaintiffs’ advantage. Atty. Etemi has also served as a member of the Connecticut Insurance Law Journal.
Trantolo & Trantolo was founded over 75 years ago to serve and represent those unable to protect themselves. The firm continues to base its operations on this principle, and in standing by those who’ve had their health and safety placed behind profits, Trantolo & Trantolo’s lawyers do not represent big business and insurance companies. Attorneys take on a range of personal injury claims, including medical malpractice, vehicular accidents, nursing home negligence, dangerous drugs, product liability, Social Security Disability (SSD), and dog attacks.
