Kahn Kleinman

Kahn Kleinman Attorneys named Ohio Rising Stars
Four Kahn Kleinman attorneys were named Ohio Rising Stars by Law & Politics magazine: Phil Bautista, Howard Bobrow, Leigh Hellner, and Peter Nealis.

Only 2.5 percent of Ohio lawyers receive this honor and recognition as top up-and-coming attorneys in Ohio.

To find Rising Stars, Law & Politics starts by mailing ballots to the most recent group of Super Lawyers: the top 5 percent of attorneys in the state. Super Lawyers are asked to vote for the best attorneys who are either 40 or under or who have been practicing 10 or fewer years. They are instructed to vote for lawyers they have personally observed in action — whether as opposing counsel or co-counsel, or through other first-hand courtroom observation.
