This recognition entails an annual selection that uses a patented multiphase process — such as a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area.
The Super Lawyers publication also recognizes Rising Stars who are under the age of 40 or have practiced for 10 years or fewer. Nine HSPRD attorneys received the Rising Star distinction this year. Congratulations to all!
