DREW & WARD PARTNERS HONORED AMONG "SUPER LAWYERS" OF OHIO

The Drew & Ward law firm congratulates seven partners who were named among the top lawyers in Cincinnati and Ohio.

Ray Drew, Richard Ward, James Coogan, Anthony Covatta Jr., Frederic Goeddel, Ruth Rounding (no longer with the firm 7/14/06), and Richard Ruebel were on the "Super Lawyers" list published by Cincinnati Magazine in its January 2004 issue.

In addition, Ms. Rounding is one of the "Top 100 Ohio Super Lawyers" and "Top 50 Cincinnati Super Lawyers." Mr. Ruebel is among the "Top 50 Cincinnati Super Lawyers."

"We are honored to be recognized as part of this exclusive group and for the hard work we do for our clients at Drew & Ward," said Mr. Covatta.

The "Super Lawyers" were selected following a survey of more than 33,000 Ohio lawyers during April 2003 who were asked to vote for the best lawyers based on what they had observed in action, not what they knew by reputation alone. All the Ohio "Super Lawyers" can be found at www.superlawyers.com.

Ms. Rounding and Mr. Ruebel, both fellows of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, specialize in estate planning, probate and taxation.

Mr. Coogan specializes in probate, trust and closely-held business litigation. Mr. Goeddel's particular area of expertise is family law, but he also specializes in other forms of civil litigation, estate planning and probate. Mr. Covatta practices at Drew & Ward in the areas of corporate law, general litigation, franchising and real estate law.

Drew & Ward Co., LPA celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2003, enjoying a history of more than four decades of service: service to clients, service to the law, and service to the community. Ray Drew and Dick Ward opened their office in the Central Trust Tower (now the Fourth & Vine Tower) in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1958. Both were pilots during World War II and returned to pursue legal careers after admiring attorneys in their own families. The two founded the firm based on the ideals of serving clients with good counsel, cost effective solutions and hard work.
