The lists recognize no more than five percent of attorneys in the state for Super Lawyers and two and a half percent for Rising Stars, making the distinction a significant marker of professional achievement.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators.
