Maslon Attorneys Receive President's Award from the MSBA for Pro Bono Work During Operation Metro Surge

June 8, 2026

Bill Pentelovitch, Anna Petosky, Peter Hennigan, Annika Misurya, and Ashley Patyk have received the President’s Award from the Minnesota State Bar Association. The award recognizes outstanding support and assistance to the Association and its mission.

This year, MSBA President Tom Pack selected the Maslon attorneys, who served as part of the pro bono Rule of Law Amicus Brief Team, for their extraordinary efforts to represent the MSBA as amicus in two federal lawsuits during the height of Operation Metro Surge.

"When our community needed thoughtful legal leadership, this team stepped forward without hesitation," Pack said. "They donated countless hours, brought extraordinary skill and judgment to their work, and helped the MSBA raise its voice in support of the rule of law during a challenging and consequential time. Their commitment exemplifies the very best of our profession, and I am honored to recognize them with this year's President's Award."

Also honored were team members Mark Bradford, Guus Duindam, and Norman Pentelovitch.
