Johnson, Janklow & Abdallah Named SD Law Firm of the Year for 4th Year in a Row

Apr 21, 21

Benchmark Litigation, a leading international rating organization based in New York City, has named the Sioux Falls law firm of Johnson, Janklow & Abdallah as South Dakota’s Law Firm of the Year.  The award is given annually to the top litigation law firm in every state based upon eight months of extensive research. This is the fourth year in a row that the firm has won the prestigious award.  “What an honor to receive this award for the 4th year in a row,” said Scott Abdallah, a partner of the firm. “The award reflects the dedication of our attorneys and staff who strive each day to achieve the best results for all of our clients,” added Russ Janklow, a partner in the firm. The firm has now won the award five of the last six years.

Johnson, Janklow & Abdallah, LLP, has twelve lawyers focused almost exclusively on civil litigation, including personal injury, trust and estate litigation, workers’ compensation, business litigation, employment disputes, constitutional law and appeals of all kinds. The firm is the only one of its size in South Dakota dedicated exclusively to litigation matters. The firm’s trust and estate litigation practice is led by partner Pamela Reiter, who has been recognized by Benchmark Litigation as one of the top two female litigators in South Dakota. The law firm adds this award to a growing list of impressive national awards, including US News and World Report’s list of Best Lawyers and Law Firms, Super Lawyers and one of only four law firms in South Dakota to receive the highest ranking possible for litigation by Chambers USA, an international rating entity for attorneys.
