About Super Lawyers
Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers in 70+ practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes peer nomination and a statewide survey of lawyers, a points-based independent research evaluation of candidates by Super Lawyers, and peer reviews by practice areas.
The result is a comprehensive listing of exceptional attorneys. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor.
The selection process for the Rising Stars list is similar to the Super Lawyers selection process, but a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5 percent of the qualified lawyers in the state are selected to the Rising Stars list.
