LawtonCates, S.C., a Madison, Wisconsin-based law firm, has announced that attorney Terrence Polich has been recognized by his peers in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Polich, who has over 25 years of legal experience, was honored in the fields of Insurance Law, Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs, and Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions - Plaintiffs.
Polich focuses his practice on personal injury, consumer warranty, lemon law, and civil litigation. His career includes notable settlements such as $4.6 million for nonprofit businesses harmed by fraud and professional negligence, $2.3 million in a wrongful death settlement for a marine who died of a drug overdose at a Veterans Affairs hospital, $1 million for a veteran who froze to death after being discharged from a VA hospital, and $942,333.33 in a motor vehicle accident settlement for three people injured in a head-on collision.
The Best Lawyers selection process relies on a peer-review system. Attorneys are nominated and then evaluated by currently recognized lawyers in their field. Feedback is analyzed, and nominees must be in good standing with their local bar associations. 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."
Polich expressed gratitude for the recognition, saying, "I want to express my sincere gratitude both to Best Lawyers and all of my peers who voted for me in these categories. 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."
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Polich is past Chair of the Wisconsin Association for Justice Program Committee and serves on the board of the Jason Simcakoski Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving mental health care for veterans.
LawtonCates has been serving clients since 1958, focusing on personal injury, including motor vehicle accidents, work-related injuries, and wrongful death. The firm also has experience in lemon law, criminal defense, consumer law, and business litigation, and its attorneys are committed to helping those who have been wrongfully harmed.
