Each year, only five percent of all attorneys in the state are selected as Super Lawyers and 2.5 percent are included as Rising Stars. This year more than half of McKinley Irvin’s practicing attorneys firm-wide joined the 2016 lists – topping last year’s firm record of 13 attorneys recognized as Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.
It’s the fourth consecutive year that attorney Stannard has been recognized by Super Lawyers for outstanding legal achievements. This is also her second year on the Super Lawyers list, having previously been selected to the 2013-14 Rising Stars lists.
Matthews has been distinguished as an Oregon Super Lawyer since 2007.
The Super Lawyer recognition is bestowed on attorneys who are nominated by their peers for their professional accomplishments and dedication to the practice of law. Finalists are then selected using independent, third-party research to determine the top five percent highest achieving attorneys in each state.
“Our Portland office is expanding, and this is a testament to our efforts in the legal community and beyond,” said Matthews. “We are proud to be a part of this outstanding group of lawyers.”
