About Super Lawyers

Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Attorneys are selected through a multi-phased process including independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations.

Lawyers who are 40 or under, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less, are eligible to receive the Rising Star designation.
