We are pleased to announce that 14 of our attorneys were recognized on the Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars list in 2021.
Each year, the research team at Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters rating service and publication, selects outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas through a rigorous, multi‐phase process that includes:
- a statewide survey of lawyers
- an independent evaluation of candidates by the attorney-led research staff
- a peer review of candidates by practice area
- a good-standing and disciplinary check
Candidates are evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including verdicts and settlements; honors and awards; special licenses and certifications; pro bono and community service efforts; and scholarly lectures and writings.
The ultimate objective of Super Lawyers is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse list of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for other practitioners and consumers searching for legal counsel.
Approximately five percent of the Pennsylvania Bar received the distinction.
