Lynn Tillotson & Pinker Partners Among America's Top Attorneys

Lawdragon, a quarterly print and online publication serving the legal community, has named Michael P. Lynn and Eric W. Pinker of Lynn Tillotson & Pinker, L.L.P., as two of the 500 Leading Lawyers in America.

This marks the second consecutive year for Mr. Lynn to be included on the listing of the nation’s top attorneys, and Mr. Pinker was honored earlier this year among the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiffs’ Lawyers in America.

To complete the list of top attorneys, Lawdragon staff asked thousands of attorneys and judges who they considered to be the top of the legal profession. The results of that survey and independent research make up the prestigious list, which includes less than .01 percent of all lawyers in the country. The entire list appears in the October 2007 issue, and is available at www.lawdragon.com.

In addition to Mr. Lynn and Mr. Pinker earning spots on the Lawdragon 500, firm partners Jeffrey M. Tillotson and John T. “Trey” Cox III were finalists for the honor and featured on the Lawdragon 3000 Leading Lawyers in America.

As a firm, Lynn Tillotson & Pinker has been recognized twice by The National Law Journal for obtaining the Defense Win of the Year. In 2002, the firm was honored for its successful defense of Visa International in an Internet defamation case. In 1998, firm attorneys were recognized for the nation’s top defense win in a qui tam case.

Lynn Tillotson & Pinker is a nationally recognized trial law firm focusing on complex, “high stakes” litigation where results truly matter.

Visa USA

"Mike Lynn, Jeff Tillotson and J. R. Rodriguez thoroughly analyzed the facts, claims and defenses in one of the most dangerous cases I've faced on behalf of Visa USA in my twenty-one years as Director of Litigation. They then formulated and executed a winning strategy through trial, representing Visa with zeal and vigor every step of the way. To say the firm has earned my total confidence would be an understatement."
