Klarquist Attorneys Named to the 2006 Oregon Super Lawyers® List
Kenneth S. Klarquist and John D. Vandenberg were recognized by their peers as Oregon Super Lawyers for 2006. The list of Super Lawyers was published in November 2006 and distributed to attorneys in Oregon.
Oregon Super Lawyers magazine surveys lawyers throughout the State of Oregon and conducts additional research to identify lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Only 5 percent of the lawyers in Oregon are named Super Lawyers. Klarquist is proud to have two of its top lawyers named Super Lawyers for 2006.
“We are extremely pleased to see both Ken Klarquist and John Vandenberg on the list,” said David P. Petersen, senior partner. “Peer recognition is a confirmation of the commitment both John and Ken have to providing excellent representation to an outstanding group of clients.”
