Ed Walsh Selected and Named Illinois Super Lawyer

In 2004, 2005, 2006 and again in 2007, Law & Politics and the publishers of Chicago Magazine have again selected Ed Walsh as one of Illinois Super Lawyers in the specialized practice area of Plaintiff s Personal Injury, representing seriously injured people and the loved ones of people who are negligently and wrongfully killed.

Chicago Magazine and Law & Politics Magazine mailed more than 47,000 ballots to Illinois attorneys who have been licensed more than five years. Law & Politics asked the attorneys to name the best lawyers they had personally observed in action. The intent was to discourage lawyers form nominating others based solely on reputation.

Law & Politics research department carefully reviewed the balloting results and reviewed the credentials of the attorneys nominated. A blue ribbon panel of attorneys then further refined the selection process. Finally, based upon the statewide ballot totals, research of each candidate s professional accomplishments, and blue ribbon panel review, the Super Lawyers were finally selected.

Ed Walsh has represented people seriously injured and killed due to automobile/truck collisions, medical malpractice, product liability and legal malpractice for 34 years. He has secured numerous multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements for his needy clients. In further recognition of his integrity and skill, the Justices of the Illinois Supreme Court have appointed him as Member and Chairman (2001-2006) of the Supreme Court Committee on Character and Fitness to Practice Law and a member of the original Committee on Professionalism.
