Keating, Muething & Klekamp PLL

Twenty Keating Muething & Klekamp Lawyers Named 2006 Ohio Rising Stars
Twenty lawyers at Keating Muething & Klekamp made the 2006 Ohio Rising Stars list which will be published in Law & Politics Media. They will be listed in the August 2006 issues of Cincinnati Magazine and Ohio Super Lawyers – Rising Stars Edition. In January 2006, Law & Politics sent ballots to all of this year’s Ohio Super Lawyers asking them to nominate up-and-coming lawyers who are age 40 or younger or have been in practice ten years or less.

The Keating Muething & Klekamp lawyers recognized as 2006 Ohio Rising Stars are: Joseph M. Callow, Jr., Mark J. Chumley, Steven C. Coffaro, Jason M. Cohen, D. Brock Denton, Paul D. Dorger, Sue A. Erhart, Alan S. Fershtman, John S. Fronduti, Karen Kreider Gaunt, Drew M. Hicks, Jody T. Klekamp, Michael J. Moeddel, Jamie M. Ramsey, F. Mark Reuter, Adrienne J. Roach, Rachael A. Rowe, Thomas M. Tepe, Jr., Mark A. Weiss and E. Todd Wilkowski.

Law & Politics has been publishing Super Lawyers for 15 years. This is the second year for Ohio Rising Stars. According to Mr. William C. White, publisher of Law & Politics, the selection process involved the following:

The general survey process began in January 2006 when the Rising Stars staff mailed ballots to Ohio Super Lawyers asking them to vote for the best up-and-coming lawyers they had personally observed in action. The intent was to discourage lawyers from voting for others based purely on reputations. Each ballot had the name of the addressee – attorney on it. Only ballots properly verified by that attorney (with signature and attorney registration number filled it) we counted. Each lawyers was given a score based on the number and type of votes received. Votes received from lawyers in other firms were awarded significantly more points than votes received from lawyers in the same firm.

As part of the research process, the Rising Star staff designed balloting methodology and carefully reviewed balloting results. The balloting results were reviewed for any evidence of ballot manipulation and any such balloting was eliminated from consideration. Rising Star candidate status with the Attorney Registration Section of the Supreme Court of Ohio was reviewed to assure all Rising Stars are active, with no public record of disciplinary action.

The point totals from the general survey and screening process were added to arrive at a final point total. The final points were segregated by firm size (small, medium and large). Top point-getters from each of the firm size categories were selected to identify the Ohio Rising Stars, consisting of the top 2.5 percent of the up-and-coming attorneys in Ohio. The list of Ohio Rising Stars includes attorneys in private practice, as well as attorneys in non-private practice, such as prosecutors, in-house counsel and public service lawyers.

Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL, a full-service Cincinnati law firm, was founded in 1954. We have approximately 110 lawyers and a support staff of more than 150 employees. For more than 50 years, we have contributed to the success of many businesses from Fortune 500 corporations and small start-up companies to non-profit organizations and government entities.
