Super Lawyers is a prestigious award only given to the top five percent of attorneys in each state. Selection is based on peer nominations and evaluations, as well as extensive independent research in the legal industry. Rising Stars have an even narrower margin, with only 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state recognized. Rising Stars must be 40 years old or younger or have been in practice for 10 years or less.
