Washingtonian Magazine has selected Roger Johnson, Peter DePaolis, William Lightfoot and Paulette Champan for inclusion on their list of Best Lawyers for 2009.
Staff writer Marisa M. Kashino spent six weeks ferreting out Washington’s top lawyers. She relied heavily on peer recommendations, asking attorneys who was setting the standard in his or her field. She also interviewed clients and analyzed high-profiles case. Says Kashino: “The people attracted to the legal profession in this city are some of the nation’s smartest and most powerful. Learning about them and hearing their stories never gets old.” Kashino grew up near Seattle and studied journalism and political science at the University of Washington. She moved here for a job at Legal Times, where she covered law firms and government lawyers. She joined The Washingtonian in September.
