Super Lawyers Honors Two Partners of Central Washington Firm Abeyta Nelson Injury Law
Yakima, Washington (PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- Yakima attorneys Terry Abeyta and Rod Nelson, partners in Abeyta Nelson Injury Law, have been named Super Lawyers for 2013 by Washington Law & Politics magazine.
It’s the thirteenth straight year Abeyta has been named to the list and the twelfth year in a row year for Nelson. Abeyta Nelson is the only plaintiff’s personal injury firm in Central Washington with two Super Lawyers.
Only 5 percent of the more than 30,000 attorneys in Washington State were designated Super Lawyers in 2013. This endorsement is based on votes from their peers and judges, and a blue-ribbon selection panel who review legal ability, ethical standards and integrity of each chosen law firm.
A native of Yakima, Abeyta has practiced law since 1976. He graduated from Yakima Valley Community College. He continued on to graduate from Whitman College at the top of his class and in the top 15 percent of his class from the University of Washington School of Law. He is a past president of the Yakima County Bar Association.
Abeyta was the first plaintiff’s attorney from Central Washington named to The Best Lawyers in America and to the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiffs’ Lawyers in America. He’s a past president of the Washington chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Damage Attorney Round Table.
Abeyta has been active in the community with the Yakima Valley Community Foundation, United Way of Central Washington, Catholic Charities of Central Washington and St. Paul Cathedral Church.
Nelson, who was raised in Selah, has practiced law since 1979. He earned both his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Washington, where he finished in the top 10 percent of his law school class. He is a past president of the Yakima County Bar Association.
Nelson serves on the Board of Directors for Children’s Wishes & Dreams, Foundation for Washington Courts, and Justice for All Political Action Committee.
Both Abeyta and Nelson have served in many leadership roles for the Washington State Association for Justice. In 2012, the partners celebrated 30 years of practicing law together at the same firm.
