LawtonCates, S.C. proudly announces that attorney Terrence Polich has been recognized by his peers in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Polich has been honored in the fields of Insurance Law, Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs, and Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions - Plaintiffs. This recognition places him among a select group of attorneys nationwide who are acknowledged for their professional excellence.
With over 25 years of legal experience, Polich focuses his practice on personal injury, consumer warranty, lemon law, and civil litigation. His career is marked by significant achievements, including a $4.6 million recovery for nonprofit businesses harmed by fraud and professional negligence, a $2.3 million wrongful death settlement for a marine who died of a drug overdose at a Veterans Affairs hospital, a $1 million wrongful death settlement for a veteran who froze to death after discharge from a VA hospital, and a $942,333.33 settlement for three individuals injured in a head-on motor vehicle accident. These results demonstrate his dedication to securing justice for those who have suffered due to the negligence of others.
The selection process for Best Lawyers is rigorous, relying on peer review. Attorneys are nominated, and then currently recognized lawyers provide feedback on the nominee's work. Best Lawyers analyzes this input, verifies that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations, and finalizes the list. As Best Lawyers states, "For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers has been grounded in a simple principle: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are." This year's recognition underscores Polich's standing among his peers.
Polich expressed gratitude for the honor. "I want to express my sincere gratitude both to Best Lawyers and all of my peers who voted for me in these categories," he said. "It's an honor to be recognized for my work in personal injury law. I became an attorney because I wanted to help people who have been harmed through no fault of their own, and I'm proud to work for one of the most distinguished firms in the state of Wisconsin."
Polich, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been actively involved in the legal community, serving as past Chair of the Wisconsin Association for Justice Program Committee. He is also a board member of the Jason Simcakoski Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving mental health care for veterans, reflecting his commitment to service beyond the courtroom.
