Washingtonian Magazine as one of the top ten attorneys in the Washington
metropolitan area, out of a total of more than 90,000 attorneys. Mr. Regan has
been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, widely regarded as
the definitive guide to the leading lawyers in the country, and has been elected a
Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. The Legal Times, a national
legal publication, has repeatedly selected Mr. Regan as one of the top litigators
in Washington. Mr. Regan was also selected by the ational Law Journal
one of the "Top Ten Power Lawyers" in Washington. These awards specifically
mentioned Mr. Regan's numerous significant verdicts and settlements within

award from the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C.,

settlements or verdicts in excess of $1 Million.

In December 2007, Washingtonian Magazine again selected Mr. Regan as one

of top attorneys in the Metropolitan area and stated: "Regan is one personal-
injury lawyer who could be a poster boy for legal ethics and integrity in a field
often ridiculed as being populated by ambulance chasers. He has negotiated
favorable settlements for clients ranging from an Arnold & Porter partner
injured by a defective wheelchair to a 23-year-old beaten outside a bar (for
whom Regan secured $4.5 million in compensation). Most recently, Regan
represented the family of slain ew York Times reporter David Rosenbaum in
its $20-million suit against the District of Columbia for inadequately
transporting and treating Rosenbaum after he was attacked on the street--a suit
the family has agreed to drop if the District corrects deficiencies in its
emergency-response procedures."
