SAN DIEGO, CA, October 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named Craig R. McClellan as the "San Diego Best Lawyers Product Liability Litigation Lawyer of the Year" for 2012.

After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating "Lawyers of the Year" in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the "Lawyer of the Year."

Craig McClellan is a product liability attorney with over 90 verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million each. His landmark cases have resulted in the removal of 3 wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) from the market, and the addition of shoulder harnesses in the rear seats of automobiles.

Additionally, San Diego lawyer Craig McClellan has been instrumental in SUV rollover safety, litigating more SUV rollover cases, for instance, than any other San Diego lawyer. He was the first San Diego lawyer to advocate Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems for SUV's and to bring suit for a manufacturer's failure to provide that essential safety system. He has handled many cases against automobile manufacturers that have received national and international attention.

"I am quite honored to be recognized by my peers for the work that I am doing on behalf of my clients to make automobiles, and all products, safer," Craig McClellan said.

Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2012) is based on more than 3.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

Craig McClellan is being honored as "Lawyer of the Year" because he received particularly high ratings in our surveys by earning a high level of respect among his peers for his abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, "We continue to believe - as we have believed for more than 25 years - that recognition by one's peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession. We would like to congratulate Craig R. McClellan on being selected as the 'San Diego Best Lawyers Product Liability Litigation Lawyer of the Year' for 2012."
