John H. Toohey Has Been Recognized as One of the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., October 17, 2017 (Newswire.com) - John Toohey, Partner, Bremer Whyte Brown & O’Meara, LLP, has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Toohey has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Mr. Toohey outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. He studied Political Science at California State University-Long Beach, graduating in 1993. He went on to the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where he graduated with his Juris Doctorate in 1999.

There are two big issues that lawyers face in the 21st century. First, technology is constantly evolving, and information is more and more accessible. Consumers simply do not need a lawyer in the same capacity as they did ten or twenty years ago. We will have to evolve or we will be phased out like K-Mart or Toys-R-Us. Secondly, the passion and drive to be a lawyer is not impacting the next generation. They are not driven by long hours and big pay days, and they are certainly not inspired to run up large debt for law school. Believe it or not, we are on the precipice of a lawyer shortage.

With nearly 20 years dedicated to law, Mr. Toohey brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular, to his area of specialization, to contract negotiation and litigation, complex product liability, construction, and wrongful death/catastrophic injury. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in these areas, Mr. Toohey said:

"I decided to go to law school for the same altruistic reasons most of my colleagues did—to protect and defend those that cannot protect and defend themselves. As I studied the law and then became a practitioner, I discovered that my skills were best served in defending and protecting those in the manufacturing, energy, construction, transportation, and service industries. Helping those companies navigate the world of litigation has been an incredibly rewarding experience."

Mr. Toohey is known for his compassionate approach and comprehensive legal knowledge. He considers himself a 'solutions based practitioner,' prioritizing transparency, honesty, and communication with his clients at every stage of their case. By treating each case with the individual attention it deserves, Mr. Toohey works with his clients to craft unique, cost-effective solutions for their legal issues. 

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Toohey pays close attention to prevailing trends in his many areas of practice, especially in areas at the intersection of those areas. In particular, he notes the evolving role of technology and the next generation of lawyers:

"There are two big issues that lawyers face in the 21st century. First, technology is constantly evolving and information is becoming more and more accessible. Consumers simply do not need a lawyer in the same capacity as they did ten or twenty years ago. We will have to evolve or we will be phased out like K-Mart or Toys-R-Us.

"Secondly, the passion and drive to be a lawyer is not impacting the next generation. They are not driven by long hours and big paydays, and they are certainly not inspired to run up large debt for law school. Believe it or not, we are on the precipice of a lawyer shortage in this country, and it will be harder and harder for big firms to find young associates."

Mr. Toohey is an AV®-Preeminent™ Rated attorney, and has been recognized by Super Lawyers™. He was recently included in the 2017 "Lawyers of Distinction," which limits inclusion to the top 10% of lawyers in the nation.
