WEST PALM BEACH, FL, August 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jupiter resident Theodore Babbitt has been named "2011 West Palm Beach Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year" by the publication Best Lawyers.

Babbitt, founding partner of the West Palm Beach plaintiff trial law firm Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P.A., has been listed in the publication every edition since 1987. The firm concentrates on catastrophic personal injury cases and complicated mass tort and class action litigation.

In addition, the law firm was just honored for 30 years as a preeminent law firm by Martindale-Hubbell, the standard global rating and referral service for lawyers. Three of its name partners, Babbitt, Joseph Johnson and Stephan Le Clainche, are Jupiter residents. Partner Joseph Osborne of Boca Raton was recently named a finalist as Most Effective Lawyer by the Daily Business Review, the legal newspaper of record for Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade for his work on the national steering committee for Trasylol litigation. The four name partners have more than 100 years' collective experience.

Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, is designating "Lawyers of the Year" in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the "Lawyer of the Year."

Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers.

Mr. Babbitt has tackled some of the toughest personal injury and plaintiffs' cases in the State of Florida, and obtained numerous high-profile multimillion-dollar recoveries. Since 1973, Mr. Babbitt has been a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only group limited to just 100 of the top plaintiffs' lawyers in the country. He's written more than 100 articles that have appeared in national and local publications, given lectures for other attorneys and chaired nearly a dozen professional committees. He has practiced law since 1965.

The current, 17th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2011) is based on more than 3.1 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. The lawyers being honored as "Lawyers of the Year" have received particularly high ratings in its surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, "We continue to believe - as we have believed for more than 25 years - that recognition by one's peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession. We would like to congratulate Theodore Babbitt on being selected as the 'West Palm Beach Best Lawyers Personal Injury Litigator of the Year' for 2011."
