Super Lawyers® is a rating of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The patented selection process takes a diverse list of the top attorneys in the country as nominated by their peers. The nominations are then validated with third-party research across 12 key categories, and reviewed by a highlycredentialed panel of attorneys. Only five percent (5%) of attorneys are selected for recognition as Super Lawyers, and only 2.5 percent (2.5%) of attorneys are selected as Rising Stars. The Super Lawyers® lists are published as a special supplement in leading newspapers and city and regional magazines across the country.
