Lawyers are strongly encouraged during this process to nominate and review their peers based off of actual observance and first-hand knowledge and viewing, versus purely reputation. Those lawyers who end up with the highest point totals in each category are selected. Only five percent of the total lawyers in the state are selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers.

Lawyers eligible for Super Lawyer must have been in practice for over five years to even participate. The department examines the background and experience of each candidate searching for evidence of peer recognition and professional achievement. Factors considered include; transactions, experiences, honors and awards, certifications, education and employment background, outstanding achievements, representative clients, and settlements. There is truly no other published guide that is this unique in their multi-step process to find the best of the best!
