Felhaber has the most L&E attorneys certified in Minnesota
Felhaber Larson Fenlon & Vogt is pleased to announce Brian Benkstein was recently certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as an MSBA Board Certified Labor and Employment Law Specialist. This Certification program is administered by the MSBA and approved by the State Board of Legal Certification. The certified specialist designation is earned by leading attorneys who have completed a rigorous approval process, including an examination in the specialty area, peer review and documented experience. Certified attorneys have demonstrated superior knowledge, skill and integrity in their specific field and can use the designation of specialist to advertise their credentials. The MSBA has been accredited as an independent professional organization for certifying attorneys as Criminal Law Specialists, Real Property Law Specialists, Civil Trial Law Specialists and Labor and Employment Law Specialists. This achievement has been earned by fewer than 3% of all licensed Minnesota attorneys. More information about Certified Legal Specialists is at http://www2.mnbar.org/certify. We are proud to note that Brian Benkstein joins these attorneys previously certified as MSBA Board Labor and Employment Law Specialists: Alice Berquist, Sara McGrane, Dennis Merley, Penny Phillips, Tom Trachsel, and Paul Zech. We are proud to note that Felhaber Law Firm has the largest group of certified Labor & Employment Law Specialists of any law firm in the State of Minnesota.
Brian Benkstein has practiced in the labor and employment law section of the Felhaber firm since May 2003. Mr. Benkstein’s practice includes employment litigation defense and counseling, exclusive to management-side representation.
