Date: March 30, 2009 — Minneapolis, MN
Bassford Remele is pleased to announce that Patrick J. Sauter has been selected as a 2008 Attorney of the Year by Minnesota Lawyer. The criteria for selection includes leadership in the profession, involvement in major cases or other newsworthy events during the year and performance of significant public service.
Mr. Sauter has tried more than 100 jury trials to verdict in the areas of personal injury, construction law, insurance coverage, product liability, and trusts and estates. Clients retain Mr. Sauter on the most difficult and complex cases often involving multi-million dollar damage claims. That same level of excellence extends into his commitment to pro bono work. For years he was involved with Legal Advice Clinics (n/k/a Volunteer Lawyers Network) and served on the LAC Board. More recently, he has devoted substantial time to the Chrysalis Pro Bono Safety Project for victims of domestic violence and in 2006, received the Award of Excellence for his service and commitment to the Project.
Mr. Sauter also finds time to be active in a number of professional organizations. For six years, he has served on the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Defense Lawyers Association and as President of the MDLA in 2006-07. Mr. Sauter serves as the State Chairman for the Association of Defense Trial Attorneys (ADTA) and was selected to be a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). He is a frequent lecturer on topics of civil litigation and has published articles on a wide range of legal topics. Minnesota Law & Politics has consistently named him a "Super Lawyer."
