Peters & Freedman, L.L.P. Wins Prestigious 2015 Litigator Award
Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2016 -- Peters & Freedman, L.L.P., a community association and construction defect law firm with offices in Encinitas, Aliso Viejo and Palm Desert, California, was today awarded the prestigious 2015 Litigator Award for extraordinary achievement within the field(s) of: Construction Defects and Homeowner Association Litigation.
Justly standing as the nation’s most coveted symbol of “Litigation Achievement,” this unrivaled annual honor recognizes trial lawyers and Law Firms that have attained extraordinary litigation achievement within one or more of 72 pre-defined “Practice Specialty” categories. This award is based strictly on “Verdict and/or Settlement” dollar amounts rather than peer popularity. Simply being nominated is to be set among the elite of the profession. Recipients of the award are generally considered among the finest trial lawyers in the nation.
To be Award Eligible, Nominees must prove achievement of litigation “Performance Benchmarks” that include not less than:
a). One verified “Verdict or Settlement” of at least $1 Million Dollars in any one “Practice Specialty” category within the preceding 5 year period prior to Nomination, or
b). One verified “Verdict or Settlement” of at least $5 Million Dollars in any one “Practice Specialty” category within the preceding 10 year period prior to Nomination, or
c). One verified “Verdict or Settlement” of at least $10 Million Dollars in any one “Practice Specialty” category within the preceding 20 year period prior to Nomination.
Receiving a Litigator Award is a feat achieved by fewer than 1% of all lawyers. Of the nearly 1.1 Million lawyers considered, only a select few per State will achieve the distinction of being awarded annually in any given “Practice Specialty.”
Peters & Freedman's most notable case was Acqua Vista Homeowners Association v. K. Hovnanian at Acqua Vista, LLC., et al, case No. 37-2009-00104348. David M. Peters, Esq. served as the lead attorney on the case, which involved defective Chinese cast iron pipe. The court approved a partial settlement of $21,500,000.00 and the jury awarded $23,955,796.28. "Successful defect litigation is not an accident. It is a determination to devote the time, heart and resources required to achieve the desired result," said Peters.
Winning a 2015 Litigator Award is a powerful endorsement of superior litigation achievement that provides discerning clientele {as well as referring professionals} with a strong reason to trust their case with an Award Recipient.
