Anderson O'Brien, LLP has been voted the winner in the Law Firm category of the 2026 Best of Portage County Community's Choice Awards, with winners announced on July 12, 2026. In a separate development, three attorneys from the firm have received individual selections to the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists.
The Best of Portage County Community's Choice Awards is a public recognition program in which community members nominate and vote for businesses and organizations across Portage County. The program covers categories spanning professional services, dining, retail, health care, and other sectors. This award reflects the firm's strong local reputation and community trust.
In the Super Lawyers selections, Donna L. Ginzl and Bradley A. Yanke were named to the 2026 Super Lawyers list, while Heather M. Huebner was selected to the 2026 Rising Stars list. The Super Lawyers selection process involves peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations.
Donna L. Ginzl practices family law at Anderson O'Brien and has been licensed in Wisconsin since 1994. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Bradley A. Yanke, whose practice focuses on personal injury and workers' compensation matters, was selected to the 2026 Super Lawyers list after being selected to the Rising Stars list from 2022 through 2025. Heather M. Huebner's practice areas include estate planning and probate, business and corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate.
The Community's Choice Awards and the Super Lawyers selection process are distinct forms of recognition. The Community's Choice Awards are determined through public nominations and voting, while the Super Lawyers process is conducted independently and involves peer nominations, research, and evaluation rather than public voting.
