Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have each attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The comprehensive selection process utilized by Super Lawyers has recently been patented, and is one of the few lawyer rating services in the country to be granted this distinction. The multiphase process involves three steps: creation of a candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by a research department; and peer evaluation within the candidate’s practice area on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Candidates cannot nominate themselves, nor can they pay to be on a Super Lawyers list. The patented selection process ensures a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys, such as these noted SDSBS attorneys.
