About the Super Lawyers Selection Process

The Super Lawyers lists identify outstanding attorneys nationwide, spanning a wide range of practice areas and firm sizes. Honorees are selected through a patented, multi-phase process that combines peer nominations, peer evaluations, and independent research conducted by experienced legal professionals.

Each candidate is assessed using 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, ensuring the selection is both research-driven and peer-informed. Only 5% of attorneys in each state are named to the Super Lawyers list each year, while 2.5% of early-career attorneys earn placement on the Rising Stars list, making this a particularly selective and meaningful distinction.

Founded in 1991, Super Lawyers has grown into a trusted resource for those seeking legal counsel, with a broad reach through national and regional publications and its online platform.
