Cramer & Anderson Municipal Law Partner Dan Casagrande has been named to the Connecticut Super Lawyers list for a third consecutive year.

Attorney Casagrande, who serves as Corporation Counsel for the City of Danbury, is honored in the State, Local & Municipal law category.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to once again be named to the Connecticut Super Lawyers list, as well as a validation of the work Cramer & Anderson does for our many Municipal Law and other clients,” Attorney Casagrande said. 

Super Lawyers is a top honor reserved for outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. 

Only 5 percent of attorneys in Connecticut receive the distinction each year. The selection process combines peer nominations and evaluations with independent research.

The Connecticut Super Lawyers list is published in the Super Lawyers Magazine, as well appearing as a special section in the November issue of Connecticut Magazine
