Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, selects lawyers from firms throughout the United States and from more than 70 practice areas. Lawyers who are selected are done so through a multi-phase process, which includes a combination of peer recognition, professional achievement and independent research and are made on an annual, state-by-state basis. The selection process for the Rising Stars list is similar to the Super Lawyers selection process except candidates must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. Only 5% of lawyers are named in a state to Super Lawyers and no more than 2.5% are named to the Rising Stars. To learn more about the process, click here.
