COLUMBUS, OH, September 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Donahey Law Firm Attorney Honored as One of the Best in Medical Malpractice Law

Attorney Gordon Douglas Evans II was recently recognized as one of "The Best Lawyers in America" in the area of medical malpractice. The Best Lawyers list is created through "an exhaustive and rigorous peer-review survey comprised of more than 4 million confidential evaluations by the top attorneys in the country."

Evans' remarkable achievement didn't surprise any of his colleagues at The Donahey Law Firm.

"Gordon's inclusion on the Best Lawyers medical malpractice list is well-deserved," said Richard S. Donahey Jr., partner at The Donahey Law Firm. "His service to our clients stands at an elite level -- not just compared to Ohio attorneys, but at a national level as well."

Attorney Evans' latest achievement complements many of the awards he's previously received, including his inclusion as a "Rising Star" by Super Lawyers Magazine from 2009 to 2012 and being named one of the top 40 attorneys under 40 years of age by the American Trial Lawyers Association (ATLA). Evans is a lifetime member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Attorney Evans is also an accomplished heavyweight boxer, a hobby befitting his trial lawyer skills. In 2010 and 2012, he won the heavyweight title at the largest amateur boxing tournament in the country. A video discussing Evans' lawyer and boxing skills can be viewed here.

Evans practices primarily in the areas of medical malpractice, industrial accidents, birth trauma and motor vehicle accidents.

Tips for Prenuptial Agreements in Connecticut

News of Kelsey Grammer's $50 million payout to his former wife Camille certainly grabbed headlines. Grammer reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement that could have saved him a great deal of money before settling the divorce. Conversely, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise settled their divorce by following a prenuptial agreement that conditioned how much money would be paid should the couple split.

The Benefits of Having EOBRs in Trucks

2012-09-26

The use of electronic on-board recording devices (EOBRs), also known as "black boxes" in commercial trucks has been a long-standing safety issue. Safety advocates believe that such devices will promote safety and deter drivers from violating hours-of-service (HOS) rules. However, the trucking industry maintains that they will simply be another way to harass drivers for benign rule violations and slow down operations in a very competitive industry. Despite the controversy, commercial trucks will now be required to carry EOBRs to record a truck's course and its ...

Simplification Needed for Military Members Facing Custody Disputes

2012-09-26

A group of legal experts - the Uniform Law Commission, a group of more than 300 attorneys around the country - has made recommendations regarding the handling of child custody disputes involving actively serving military men and women. The panel ...

What Are Your Rights if You Are Injured in a Car Accident at Work?

2012-09-26

There are a lot of people in New Jersey with dangerous jobs. However, the title of "riskiest profession" doesn't go to construction workers, heavy machine operators or even police officers. Rather, it is workers who spend a lot of time on the road -- like truck drivers and sales representatives -- who stand the greatest chance of being killed on the job. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that in 2011, 683 "vehicle-bound workers" were killed while performing their jobs. Overall, nearly 40 percent of all fatal work injuries were transportation-related. ...

Surprisingly, one of the federal government's own organizations - the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) - has been plagued ...
