Columbus CEO has released its 2025 list of Columbus “Top Lawyers.” Nine Kegler Brown attorneys appear on this year’s peer-ranked listing, spanning ten different practice areas.  

The attorney selection process for Columbus CEO’s “Top Lawyers” list was conducted by Michigan-based Professional Research Services (PRS), which administered an online survey to legal professionals and members of the judiciary throughout the Columbus area. Participants were invited to nominate colleagues they considered outstanding in their respective legal specialties. All nominated attorneys underwent a thorough vetting process, including verification of credentials and checks for disciplinary actions through relevant boards, agencies, and rating organizations. Recognition on the list is entirely based on peer evaluations and professional reputation within the legal community. This year’s list features 613 peer-recommended attorneys across 59 practice areas.  

Kegler Brown is excited to announce the selection of the following attorneys, and their associated fields of practice:

• Steve Barsotti – Intellectual Property and Patent Law
• Catherine Cunningham – Land Use & Zoning
• Kacie Davis – Franchise Law
• Maria Mariano Guthrie – Litigation - Commercial
• Allen Handlan – Real Estate Law, Banking & Financial Service Law
• Mike Madigan – Construction Law
