Partner Andy DeMarea, who has now been listed in Best Lawyers in America 11 years in a row, is now recognized for his expertise and professional ability in construction litigation, in addition to the Commercial Litigation recognition he has received for the past ten years. “Clients know that they can turn to Andy and the rest of our firm to guide them through the thicket of major construction disputes,” said Forsgren Fisher’s managing partner Bob Gilbertson.

Forsgren Fisher’s guiding principles include a core commitment to the values of team and authenticity. “Every member of the Forsgren Fisher team—whether individually named or not—works hard to provide excellent client service and achieve exceptional results,” said partner Virginia McCalmont. “It feels good to see our hard work acknowledged,” she added.
