Attorney Paul Chant receives “Lawyer of the Year” distinction from Best Lawyers®

Cooper Cargill Chant attorney Paul Chant has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® in personal injury for plaintiffs in the Concord NH region, which includes the entire Northern part of New Hampshire.  Best Lawyers® selects only one Lawyer of the Year for personal injury matters, based entirely on peer review from fellow lawyers in the region.  The Lawyer of the Year is given to the “individual lawyer who received the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area.”

Upon learning of the award, Chant responded: “I am truly flattered to be given this honor.  I have so much respect for other lawyers who also do this work.”  At the same time Chant also noted: “Sometimes up here in the Northern part of New Hampshire many folks think they need to hire larger firms down South for their cases.  They hear lawyers on television telling them to call them because they are the largest firms.  I hope this recognition of me and in turn my team will be noted, and folks will be calling us.” Chant further noted: “We are good at what we do, and we get excellent results with a nice, local touch.  This peer recognition clearly states that fact.”

The personal injury, workers compensation, and medical malpractice group at Cooper Cargill Chant includes Paul Chant, fellow litigation partner Chris Meier, Senior Associate attorney Jake Crabbs and paralegals Kacy Tillotson, Shawna Emery, and Paul Salek.

Cooper Cargill Chant Partner Chris Meier was also named by Best Lawyers® as a Best Lawyer in both Commercial Litigation and Litigation – Land Use and Zoning. The Best Lawyers® distinction recognizes lawyers chosen by their peers as being one of the top 5% of practicing attorneys in the field.  Of Chant’s award Chris said: “It is an honor to be selected as a Best Lawyer.  For Paul to be recognized as the Lawyer of the Year shows just how highly other lawyers respect how he represents his clients, the expertise he has, and the results he obtains.”

Ken Cargill, well known throughout the Valley as a leading corporate law attorney, has also been recognized as a Best Lawyer in the area of Corporate Law.  Ken noted: "We are incredibly proud of this recognition, which highlights the deep expertise and commitment that has defined our firm for years. Being selected for Best Lawyers® is not only an honor for us as individuals, but also a testament to the high standard of legal counsel and client service that our firm was built upon."
