Super Lawyers is a rating service recognizing outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Attorneys are selected through a rigorous multi-phased process that includes independent research, peer nominations, and evaluations across 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The distinction is awarded to only a small percentage of attorneys in each state each year.  No more than 5 percent of attorneys are selected to the Super Lawyers list and no more than 2.5 percent to the Rising Stars list.
