WASHINGTON D.C. (November XX, 2007) – The Washingtonian named seven Morrison & Foerster attorneys to its 2007 Top Washington Lawyers List. Beth Brinkmann and Drew Days, known for their expertise in arguing cases before the Supreme Court, were acknowledged among the city’s top constitutional lawyers. Adam Hoffinger, who specializes in complex civil and white collar criminal matters, was included as one the great criminal-defense attorneys in the area. Sherri Blount, Barry Bretschneider and Edward Gray were listed as Washington’s “go to” lawyers for intellectual property law matters. Cheryl Tritt, head of the firm’s communications practice, was named a top communications attorney.
