Robert Smeltzer elected as one of the "40 Under 40"

Rob Smeltzer was recently selected as one of the "40 Attorneys Under Forty in Illinois to Watch" and profiled in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin's sixth annual edition. This is quite an honor. Over 1200 nomination forms were scrutinized to find attorneys who had accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Judges, attorneys from firms other than the nominee's own firms and clients were eligible to nominate, and only 40 made the final cut. Congratulations Rob!!!
