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. The awards are a public recognition program in which community members nominate and vote for businesses and organizations across Portage County, covering categories such as professional services, dining, retail, and health care.
Separately, three attorneys from the Stevens Point-based firm received individual selections to the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Donna L. Ginzl and Bradley A. Yanke were selected to the 2026 Super Lawyers list, while Heather M. Huebner was selected to the 2026 Rising Stars list.
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. Yanke’s practice focuses on personal injury and workers’ compensation matters; he had been selected to the Rising Stars list from 2022 through 2025 before advancing to the Super Lawyers list. 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, reflecting local sentiment and engagement. The Super Lawyers process is conducted independently and involves peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations rather than public voting.
This dual recognition matters because it highlights both community trust and professional peer respect. Winning a community-voted award demonstrates that the firm is well-regarded by those it serves in Portage County, while the Super Lawyers selections indicate that individual attorneys are recognized by their peers for professional achievement. For clients seeking legal representation, such accolades can serve as signals of quality and reliability.
