Power Rogers attorneys were selected to Best Lawyers 2022:
- Joseph A. Power Jr. earned his 35th Best Lawyers selection in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiff and Mass Tort Litigation / Class Action – Plaintiffs. Recognized by Best Lawyers since 1987, Power boasts an unprecedented track record that includes over 200 verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million and the largest medical malpractice verdict in Illinois history ($55.4 million). In 1999, he negotiated a $100 million settlement for a single family in a case that exposed Illinois' infamous "licenses for bribes" scandal.
- Larry R. Rogers Sr. was named to Best Lawyers for the 20th year in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. As Founding Partner of Power Rogers, Rogers secured the largest personal injury verdict in Illinois at the time following his very first trial in 1985.

Rogers has served as President of both the Cook County Bar Association and the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association.
- Joseph W. Balesteri was selected to Best Lawyers in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. Balesteri's record of success includes the successful recovery of more than $700 million in compensation for clients (by age 50).

- Sean M. Houlihan received his first Best Lawyers selection for his work in Aviation Law. In addition to litigating complex aviation accident cases, Houlihan has also leveraged his breadth of experience to recover millions in claims involving medical negligence, premises liability, and motor vehicle collisions.
