Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney & Meisenkothen LLC attorney Christopher Meisenkothen was recently recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2026 "Lawyer of the Year" for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs in New Haven.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the "Lawyer of the Year," making this a significant and coveted accolade. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity.

In addition to the "Lawyer of the Year" award, Christopher Meisenkothen was also listed in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the following practice areas:

  • Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants

For more than four decades, Best Lawyers has assisted those in need of legal services to identify the lawyers best qualified to represent them in distant jurisdictions or unfamiliar specialties. Lawyers are not required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular distinction.
