Anderson O'Brien, LLP, a long-standing firm in Stevens Point, has been named the top law firm in the 2026 Best of Portage County Community's Choice Awards. This honor is based on public nominations and voting across the region.
In a separate professional achievement, three of the firm's attorneys received recognition in the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. These rankings are determined through independent research and peer evaluations rather than public sentiment.
Attorneys Donna L. Ginzl and Bradley A. Yanke earned spots on the Super Lawyers list, while Heather M. Huebner was named to the Rising Stars list. These selections highlight the firm's diverse expertise in family law, personal injury, and estate planning.
Professional accolades like the Super Lawyers list serve as a critical benchmarking tool for legal clients. By utilizing peer reviews and independent vetting, such rankings provide a layer of professional validation that complements local popularity contests.
This dual recognition reflects a growing trend where law firms emphasize both community visibility and high-level professional certification to build reputation. As clients increasingly rely on both social proof and expert endorsement, firms that secure both types of recognition gain a competitive advantage in the legal marketplace.
