LOS ANGELES – Klinedinst is very pleased to announce that three shareholders have been recognized in the 2015 Southern California Super Lawyers® publication. This year’s honorees include (in alphabetical order):

• Greg A. Garbacz (Employment & Labor)
• Kevin J. Gramling (Personal Injury – Products: Defense)

Published every year, Super Lawyers® magazine aims to highlight attorneys in each region that have achieved the respect of both clients and peers alike. Lawyers across Southern California were asked to nominate attorneys who they felt demonstrated the highest caliber of the legal profession.

Mr. Gramling, who is the Managing Shareholder of Klinedinst’s Santa Ana office, was featured for the second straight year. 2015 marks Mr. Garbacz’ seventh time in the Southern California Super Lawyers list.
