Super Lawyers candidates are nominated and chosen based on an evaluation of 12 eligibility requirements which includes verdicts and settlements, experience, certifications, and pro bono service. All attorneys are recognized for their high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement and undergo a rigorous selection process. Super Lawyers selections comprise the top 5% of attorneys and are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.
