Attorney Attains 26th Consecutive Year of Exclusive Recognition

Cincinnati, OH, March 10, 2009 — Wyoming resident, Mark H. Berliant, a senior partner at Strauss & Troy, has been recognized for his outstanding professional accomplishments and for his noteworthy talent in the law. Berliant was selected as one of the "Best Lawyers in America" for an unprecedented 26th straight year. Berliant is one of a very small number of attorneys nationwide who have been recognized as "Best Lawyers in America" each year from the inception of the award in 1983.

The Best Lawyers in America is widely regarded as the premier referral guide in the legal profession. Selection as a Best Lawyer is considered a singular honor, based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 2.5 million lawyers throughout the country provide confidential, detailed evaluations of other lawyers, rating their legal abilities in their areas of specialty. Fewer than 1% of the attorneys in the United States achieve this distinction.

A University of Virginia Law School graduate, Berliant has served as national chairman of the American Bar Association Real Estate Tax Problems Committee, an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati Law School, and president of the Freestore/Foodbank in Cincinnati.
