Super Lawyers Credibility in Naming Top Attorneys
Super Lawyers prides itself on its selection process. Back in 2013, Super Lawyers actually patented its process by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This distinction matters. It’s what gives Super Lawyers its unique standing in the industry. (1)
Attorneys and consumers alike rely on Super Lawyers for comprehensive information about quality attorneys. Attorneys know who they’re competing against, and consumers hire attorneys based on who’s best in the business. The organization has a long-standing history of demonstrating credibility when it comes to its impartial third-party rating system. (2)
Super Lawyers Ratings Are Comprehensive
Super Lawyers aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive list of top-notch attorneys. Every one has achieved high peer recognition. Each named attorney is also expected to meet the highest ethical standards and demonstrate superior achievement in their legal area. (3)
No attorney is allowed to buy a way onto the annual listing. No attorney purchases any product in exchange for being included on the list. (4)
Attorney Peers Nominate Exceptional Candidates
Independent research, along with nominations and evaluations, are part of the selection process. Nominated attorneys are evaluated on 12 criteria. Peers consider each attorney’s professional achievements. The objective is to name exceptional candidates. (5)
Attorney selections are done annually state by state. The overarching goal is to “create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel.” Super Lawyers only includes attorneys on the list who can be hired and retained by members of the public. The public deserves the opportunity to hire the most skilled attorneys for their particular situation. (6)
