Trial Lawyer Awards That Matter

Peer Recognition


When hiring a personal injury lawyer, you will want to make sure that you have a “top lawyer as chosen by a jury of their peers” and a lawyer that “demonstrates unusual proficiency in the art of trial advocacy.” Stephen R. Bough has been recognized as a member of the “Best of the Bar” and is a recipient of the prestigious “Lon O. Hocker Award.”

The Kansas City Business Journal annually awards recognition as a member of the “Best of the Bar.” These are Kansas City’s top lawyers as chosen by a jury of their peers. As stated in the Kansas City Business Journal, “This is the beauty of the peer review process. What better compliment is there for a professional than to be singled out by colleagues who know the effort and not just the outcome, who knew the names that aren’t splashed in the news.” Stephen Bough has received this prestigious award for a number of years.

The Missouri Bar Foundation presents awards to individuals who have helped improve the State’s justice system. The most prestigious award for trial advocacy in the State is the Lon O. Hocker Award. The award is given annually to a lawyer who has demonstrated unusual proficiency in the art of trial advocacy. Stephen Bough received the award in 2005.
