Michael Tighe named Lawyer of the Year in Real Estate Litigation

Mr. Tighe also is listed in the new edition of Best Lawyers in the practice area of real estate law. Two other Callison Tighe attorneys, Ralph Robinson and Drew English, are listed in that practice area as well.
Mr. Robinson has served as lead counsel in more than 100 major commercial projects throughout his career. Mr. English focuses on commercial real estate acquisition and development, representing developers in all stages and aspects of their projects.
