                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 11, 2021

  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
career of Mr. John C. Duffey of Fort Wayne.
  As a lawyer who has practiced for nearly 35 years, John has been 
essential to the success of the railroad industry in Indiana and across 
the Midwest.
  Having worked for the Lafayette-based firm of Stuart & Branigin LLC 
for three-plus decades, John's practice has included accident, 
employment, product liability, and real estate litigation, with special 
focus on representing national and regional railroads.
  This representation in resolving matters of law related to railroad 
companies has allowed the industry to prosper and serve those across 
the Midwest. From 2007 through 2017, John was named to the Indiana list 
of Super Lawyers. He was selected to the list of ``Best Lawyers in 
America'' for 11 consecutive years and named Lawyer of the Year for 
Railroad Law in 2018.
  In addition to his work with the railroad industry, John has handled 
accident and injury claims for trucking companies and represented 
industrial manufacturers in numerous states. He has also resolved 
disputes for large nonprofit organizations, including the Roman 
Catholic Diocese of Lafayette.
  As John prepares to retire, I wish him the best for all that he has 
done after a long and distinguished career. This record is testament to 
his service for which northeast Indiana is grateful.
