Honorees for the 2011 Steve Jimenez Special Recognition Awards
In 2005, the Workers’ Compensation Section of the State Bar of California established special recognition awards for Applicant’s Attorney of the Year, Defense Attorney of the Year, Judge of the Year and Lifetime Achievement. The program was the brainchild of attorney Steve Jimenez, a partner at Adelson, Testan, Brundo & Jimenez, who was very active within the Workers’ Compensation Section and the Section’s Executive Committee. Steve Jimenez passed away suddenly on 12/30/07, and in honor of Steve’s outstanding service and commitment to the Workers’ Compensation community, the awards have been re-named in his honor.
Thank you for your nominations! The 2011 honorees are below, and were honored at a reception at the 2011 Annual Meeting in Long Beach.
