Segal McCambridge Shareholder Named One of the ‘40 Illinois Attorneys Under 40 to Watch’
Misty Martin, a partner in the Chicago office of Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney, Ltd., has been included in the 2015 edition of 40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty to Watch, published by the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin.
Martin and 39 peers were selected from more than 1,200 nominations to receive the distinction.
“I have had the privilege of working with Misty for several years. She not only possesses strong legal skills but also shows sound judgment,” said Jeffrey Singer, Segal McCambridge founding partner and co-chairman. “Conscientious, dedicated to client service and possessed with people skills, Misty reveals the qualities of a top notch attorney who actually serves and protects the client’s interests.”
Now in its 16th year of publication, 40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty to Watch honorees are nominated and carefully chosen by their peers and members of the legal field in recognition of their practice excellence and commitment to the profession, the firm said in a release. Out of the 65,000+ attorneys licensed to practice in the state of Illinois, just 640 lawyers have been named to the 40 Under Forty list. Ms. Martin was selected because of her dedicated involvement with her clients in catastrophic personal injury or bet-the-company products liability cases over more than 10 years in practice.
Martin focuses her practice in litigation and business counseling. She represents corporation, insurance companies and individuals in general and complex litigation throughout the United States. She was a member of the team that obtained a landmark civil rights settlement of $22.5 million from the City of Chicago, the largest amount paid to a single plaintiff in the city’s history. Martin also handles pro bono employment and disability discrimination cases in the northern district of Illinois.
