LEDERER WESTON CRAIG
CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA
Jim Craig and Mike Weston, along with Gregory Lederer,
started their small firm in 2007. One of their clients is West
Bend Mutual Insurance Co. “At any given time, I think we
have around 40 or 50 files open with them, primarily with Jim
Craig,” says Frederick “Fritz” Kaftan, senior attorney for West
Bend. Kaftan says most of the cases they handle are ones
where one of the company’s insureds is sued. Most of the
cases are settled agreeably, but a few have gone to court. One
of the firm’s best qualities, according to Kaftan, is its “ability to
think outside the box and try to do things that brings closure
to matters as opposed to dragging them out.”
LEVINGER PC
DALLAS, TEXAS
With over 30 years of experience as a tried-and-true appellate
lawyer, Jeff Levinger, founder of Levinger PC, is “the kind of
guy that, if all attorneys were like he is, it would be a much
better world,” says Ken Abraham, founder and owner of
Paddle Tramps Manufacturing Co. in Lubbock, Texas. Levinger
was brought in as appellate counsel to represent Abraham
against Alpha Chi Omega concerning the organization’s
claim that Abraham’s company, which manufactures wooden
paddles for fraternities and sororities, was guilty of trademark
infringement by using the Greek organization’s signs and
symbols. Levinger was able to clear Abraham of the claims
and Abraham continues business as usual.
