Halsey G. Knapp Jr., a partner with Krevolin & Horst in Atlanta, has been practicing law for 40 years.

Krevolin & Horst litigation counsel Kana Caplan nominated Knapp for the award, saying his skill as a trial lawyer is something he learned in the trenches and that he never misses an opportunity to push junior lawyers forward, making sure they have the same opportunities to learn through experience.
