Berman & Simmons Attorneys Daniel Kagan and Travis Brennan Earn 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” Accolades from Best Lawyers®
Berman & Simmons attorneys Daniel G. Kagan and Travis M. Brennan were recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas. This is the sixth time that attorney Kagan has received this award and the third time for attorney Brennan.
Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.” Attorneys are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.
Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
“This distinguished recognition is a testament to the legal expertise and commitment to their clients that Dan and Travis exhibit in every case that they take on,” said Craig Bramley, managing director at Berman & Simmons. “They are leaders within the firm, constantly striving to become the best attorneys that they can be and are fully committed to seeking justice to the extent of the law at every turn.”
In addition to the “Lawyer of the Year” award, attorneys Kagan and Brennan were also included in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.
For more than four decades, Best Lawyers has assisted those in need of legal services to identify the lawyers best qualified to represent them in distant jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties. Lawyers are not required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.
