SEATTLE – July 16, 2020 – McKinley Irvin, the Northwest’s premier family law firm, announced today that 19 of its attorneys have been selected to the 2020 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists.
Super Lawyers are nominated by their peers for their professional accomplishments and dedication to the practice of law. Finalists are selected using independent, third-party research to determine the top five percent of the highest achieving attorneys. The Rising Stars list is established by the same process and recognizes attorneys who are under the age of 40 or have been in practice less than 10 years.
Each year, only 5 percent of all attorneys are selected as Super Lawyers and 2.5 percent are selected as Rising Stars. This year more than half of McKinley Irvin’s practicing attorneys were recognized.
“It is an honor to see our attorneys acknowledged for their professionalism and legal ability by organizations like Super Lawyers,” said Rita Herrera Irvin, co-founder of McKinley Irvin. “We are proud of our Super Lawyers and Rising Stars and commend them for their leadership and dedication.”
18 attorneys from the firm’s Seattle, Everett, Tacoma and Vancouver offices were included in the Washington Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. In the Portland office, Jack Dekovich was recognized as a Rising Star by Oregon Super Lawyers.
