Two Detroit attorneys received the annual Respected Advocate Award presented by the Michigan Defense Trial Council (MDTC) and Michigan Association of Justice (MAJ).
Recipients Mark R. Granzotto and Paul J. Manion both fulfilled the reward requirements, which include: a history of success in civil litigation matters; unfailing adherence to the highest standard of ethic and candor in dealing with the court and with counsel; and the respect and admiration of counsel on the opposing side of the bar.
Manion received the MDTC award, presented to a member of the plaintiff’s bar to recognize and honor the individual’s history of successful representation of clients and adherence to the highest standards of ethics.
The MAJ 2010 award bestowed upon Granzotto recognizes the same for a defense practitioner.

Granzotto practices in the area of civil appellate work at Mark Granzotto. PC.
He is a member of the committee on Model Civil Jury Instruction and the Appellate Practice and Negligence Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan.
