Over half of our firm's practicing attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion on the 2015 Washington Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Only 5% of all attorneys are chosen for Super Lawyers. Only 2.5% are included on the Rising Stars list.
What is a Super Lawyer / Rising Star?
The Super Lawyers recognition is given to attorneys who are nominated by their peers for their professional accomplishments. Nominees then undergo an independent research process to select the highest achieving attorneys in each state. The Super Lawyers list includes the top 5% and the Rising Stars list includes the top 2.5% who are under 40 or in practice for 10 years or less.
