Polich is recognized in the fields of Insurance Law, Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, and Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Plaintiffs.
With over 25 years of legal experience, Polich focuses his practice on personal injury, consumer warranty, lemon law, and civil litigation. His notable results include a $4.6 million recovery for nonprofit businesses harmed by fraud and professional negligence, a $2.3 million wrongful death settlement for a Marine who died from a drug overdose at a Veterans Affairs hospital, a $1 million wrongful death settlement for a veteran who froze to death after being discharged from a VA hospital, and a $942,333.33 motor vehicle accident settlement for three individuals injured in a head-on collision.
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Polich serves as past Chair of the Wisconsin Association for Justice Program Committee and is a board member of the Jason Simcakoski Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving mental health care for veterans.
Best Lawyers selects honorees through a rigorous peer-review process. Nominations are submitted, and currently recognized lawyers provide feedback on nominees. The organization analyzes this input, verifies that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations, and finalizes the results. As Best Lawyers states, “For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers has been grounded in a simple principle: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are.”
Polich expressed gratitude for the recognition, saying, “I want to express my sincere gratitude both to Best Lawyers and all of my peers who voted for me in these categories. It’s an honor to be recognized for my work in personal injury law. I became an attorney because I wanted to help people who have been harmed through no fault of their own, and I’m proud to work for one of the most distinguished firms in the state of Wisconsin.”
