WAUSAU, Wis., Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Crooks, Low & Connell, S.C. is thrilled to announce that Super Lawyers has named Attorneys David Casey and Kristen Lonergan to its Wisconsin Rising Stars list, yet again. This is the third such recognition for Attorney Casey, and the seventh for Attorney Lonergan.
Casey and Lonergan are humbled by the recognition. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, rates lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The purpose behind the ratings is to create a resource for attorneys and residents searching for legal counsel. The selection process includes peer nominations, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by attorneys. All private practice and legal aid attorneys are eligible for consideration if they are 40 years or younger, or if they have been in practice for 10 years or less. Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in Wisconsin are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to be named to the Wisconsin Rising Stars list. Unlike many other professional ratings organizations, lawyers are not required to "pay in" to receive this recognition.
Casey graduated from Thomas Cooley Law School Magna Cum Laude in 2009. His law practice is focused primarily on criminal defense. In his years of practice, he has gained a reputation for his trial skills and for his willingness to fight for his clients. He represents people accused of crimes in a broad range of cases, from misdemeanors to high-profile felonies like sexual assault and drug matters. He is a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Marathon County Bar Association, and the Marathon County Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He has previously served as President of the Marathon County Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Outside of his professional activities, Casey contributes to the Wausau community by serving as head coach for his son's sixth-grade basketball team and supporting his daughter's endeavors in local theater productions.
Lonergan graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2010. Her main areas of practice are family law and representing plaintiffs in personal injury matters such as car accidents, wrongful death, slip and falls, dog bites and insurance coverage disputes. She also handles cases in the areas of employment law, criminal defense, and general civil litigation. Lonergan serves her professional community by acting as Chair of the State Bar of Wisconsin Mock Trial Program Casewriting Committee and by volunteering as a judge for local and statewide mock trial competitions. Lonergan is on the Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Association for Justice. She also writes articles regarding legal issues and makes presentations to her colleagues in the legal community.
