Dinsmore & Shohl is pleased to announce three of its attorneys from the Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif. offices have been recognized by Super Lawyers.

Los Angeles Office Managing Partner Peter Mastan has been named to the Super Lawyers list every year since 2012.

San Diego Office Managing Partner Joseph Leventhal has been named to the Super Lawyers list each consecutive year since 2014.

Robert Prine, an associate at the San Diego office, has been named to the 2022 Rising Stars list.

Mastan focuses his practice on bankruptcy law, commercial and business litigation and receiverships. His experience includes the litigation and management of more than 150 fraudulent transfer adversary proceedings as part of a Ponzi scheme where the trustee recovered more than $100 million in assets and the litigation of more than 100 additional adversary proceedings in a separate failed Ponzi scheme.

Leventhal has led jury trial teams in both state and federal court and represented clients in multiple arbitrations. His clients have included a national tire manufacturer in multiple product defect lawsuits, a nonprofit organization that obtained a $17 million settlement from a pharmaceutical company, an international software company that successfully sued to obtain payment from a Fortune 150 company, and multiple online retailers in class actions.

Prine represents employers in labor and employment litigation in federal and state courts, including wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, and wage-and-hour sanctions. His experience includes co-chairing multiple jury trials, taking and defending depositions, drafting written discovery, and obtaining favorable results for his clients in mediations.
