Devin McNulty

Referral lawyers trust Super Lawyers because they know the lawyers selected for the honor are the best of the best. Being selected to the Super Lawyers list increases your firm's brand awareness and reassures referral lawyers that your peers hold you in high regard for your professional competence and expertise.

-- Devin McNulty, Chandler McNulty, LLP
Jessie Cobb-Dennard

It is a HUGE accomplishment in our area, and it’s expected of those who are well-known and successful. I have even had clients choose me over another attorney because of my recognition to Super Lawyers.

-- Jessie Cobb-Dennard, The Northside Law Firm

Andrew L. Oringer

The Super Lawyers listings have broad distribution, and get significant attention from clients and other lawyers in the market. In a region with many lawyers like New York, the shorter and more specific lists get additional attention. I think that recognition from one's peers is something special in itself.

-- Andrew L. Oringer, The Wagner Law Group
Christine Byers

The reputation of Super Lawyers speaks to our caliber: it gives us recognition with the public and the legal community.

-- Christine Byers, Director of Marketing and Communications, The Simon Law Firm
Mark Lanier

Super Lawyers earns its name as the publication who is hot in each field. It is used by potential clients, and even by lawyers. We always see it as an honor to earn a listing.

-- Mark Lanier, The Lanier Law Firm
Super Lawyers Readership Survey

What I like most about Super Lawyers Magazine is that it provides another resource for verification of the quality of lawyers in the community. The vetting process provides a very accurate reflection of the quality of lawyers.

Jeffrey Gordon

Super Lawyers absolutely has garnered the attention and the respect of the legal industry. It’s the number one source of credibility.

-- Jeffrey Gordon, Maney | Gordon Trial Lawyers
Atessa Chehrazi

There are quite a few ranking services out there; Super Lawyers distinguishes itself in that it does not follow a "pay to play" model, and in that the designation is correct. Also, they use popular media to publicize the designation which means the information is accessible to clients (not just potential clients but existing) and not just other attorneys. I was surprised to receive congratulations from existing clients on being listed, which gives a sense of the effectiveness of the listing for referrals.

-- Atessa Chehrazi, Jackson & Hertogs LLP
Theodore J. Fournaris

Super Lawyers is a tremendous way to raise visibility, build credibility, and best of all, reaffirm the relationships I have worked so hard to establish.

-- Theodore J. Fournaris, Fournaris & Sanet PA
Ron Bender

Super Lawyers is an effective and efficient way for lawyers to recognize their quality peers and for lawyers and others seeking legal advice to have easy-to-use access to top practitioners in every area of law.

-- Ron Bender, Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Golubchik L.L.P.
David B. Markowitz

Most directories do a great job reporting the top 20 or 30 lawyers in town. But finding that other 50 to 100 people who really deserve recognition, and need the recognition, to help establish themselves is what Super Lawyers does best.

-- David B. Markowitz, Markowitz Herbold PC

Being listed [in Super Lawyers] provides objective evidence of being recognized for excellence by peer nominations and independent verification.

Michelle Tiger

Super Lawyers is different from other ratings services because not only is there a peer review, but there’s research that goes into it. Super Lawyers is looking not only at what your peers say, which is important, but the types of activities you do—pro bono, results that you’ve had and other things. It’s a more comprehensive review.

-- Michelle Tiger, Youman & Caputo, LLC

J.D. 'Johnny' Cargill

The reason we value our selections to Super Lawyers and the attorneys that are honored is because it comes from a peer review—the nominations come from their own peers. These are people they’ve worked beside and against at times, and still have that respect to nominate. The process that Super Lawyers puts through each and every nomination to select the best of the best truly makes it an honor.

Andrew R. McConville

It is a great honor to be selected by my peers in a prestigious and nationally recognized list of accomplished attorneys within my region and practice area. It provides great marketing, positive publicity and networking opportunities.

-- Andrew R. McConville, Cetrulo LLP
Nancy S. Shilepsky

One of the things that is really impressive about Super Lawyers is the integrity of the selection process. The more I have learned about it, the more impressed I have been. It’s not a situation where you select people for Super Lawyers to interview. [Super Lawyers asks for feedback from] people who might not say good things about you: opposing counsel and your competitors. If all of those people come out and actually rate you highly, then that says a lot and I think it is really one of the strengths of Super Lawyers.

-- Nancy S. Shilepsky, Sherin and Lodgen LLP

Laurie Mack-Wagner

I really value Super Lawyers because it enables me to reach another level in my business, by identifying me as being particularly skilled in the field by others who are in my field. And so it gives an added sense of credibility that I think the average person would not otherwise know about.

-- Laurie Mack-Wagner, Mack & Santana Law Offices, P.C.

Sam Aguiar

Selection to the Rising Stars list was a great feeling of validation. It also helps in the credentialing process with prospective new clients. In this era, there are so many resources at the disposal of one seeking the best lawyer for his or her case. Being able to confirm recognition by peers goes a long way towards showing the prospective client that you've earned the reputation of one who is highly experienced and capable in handling matters such as his or hers. I believe that peer recognition and client testimonials are currently the two most powerful tools in credentialing a lawyer. Don't believe me? Just look at the reliance we ourselves now place upon reviews and testimonials from Trip Advisor, Open Table, Google, Yelp, Angie's List and so many other resources in making our own decisions of businesses to choose and products to buy.

-- Sam Aguiar, Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers
Scott D. Smiley

I have found many times when a client is deciding between hiring me and another attorney, my inclusion on the Super Lawyers list steers their decision to me.

-- Scott D. Smiley, The Concept Law Group, P.A.
Eric M. Robbins

It communicates to the public that my peers respect my sophistication and commitment to client service.

-- Eric M. Robbins, Frost Brown Todd LLP

-- Darren A. McNair, Lardiere McNair & Stonebrook, Ltd., LPA

Paul D. Peterson

Super Lawyers gives you an instant sense of credibility with people who are figuring out the legal landscape.

-- Paul D. Peterson, Harper & Peterson, PLLC
Michelle M. Kniess

I practice in family law, so a lot of my clients come to me through the internet and online searches. They as a group, tend not to necessarily reach out to friends for an attorney referral; they are dealing with the sensitive issues that they don't necessarily want to share with other people. So they don't have anything to measure the worth of an attorney by. There's a lot of attorneys online. There's a lot of rating services online. Super Lawyers is a process that is I think well-known and it has been tested and proven to be a very good system. And so clients have mentioned to me or even potential clients in their initial consultation have mentioned 'oh, I see you're a Super Lawyer you've been named to the Rising Stars list and they've cited that as one of the reasons they sought me out. 

-- Michelle M. Kniess, Messerli | Kramer

John G. Simon

Super Lawyers helps you stand out. It gives you the stamp of approval. The selection process is very rigorous. I was really impressed with the detail they go through. It gives us visibility among our peers. It provides recognition and validation of what we do, and it enhances our reputation in St. Louis, Missouri, and beyond.

-- John G. Simon, The Simon Law Firm, P.C.
Anna N. Martinez

Being selected to the Rising Stars list is crucial to building public confidence in my abilities as a younger lawyer. Knowing that this accolade is the result of peer nominations is essential for creating trust with the legal community and prospective clients. Similarly I use the Super Lawyers list to vet those lawyers that I do not know well when referring cases to someone outside of my practice area or focus as a plaintiff's lawyer, i.e., when searching for defense counsel.

-- Anna N. Martinez, Martinez Law Colorado LLC
Gary W. Marsh

It is a great honor to be selected to a Super Lawyers list. Clients want their lawyer to be well recognized in the legal and business community, and the Super Lawyers designation has raised my profile and personal brand.

-- Brad Wolfe, Brad Wolfe Law, L.L.C.
Adina R. Bergstrom

Super Lawyers has increased my firm's presence nationally, as other firms have been able to reliably identify our areas of practice and years of expertise.

-- Adina R. Bergstrom, Gavnat & Associates
Karl P. Numinen

I practice in a small firm in a rural area. Being listed in Super Lawyers has been a great benefit because I receive calls from attorneys who found me on the Super Lawyers list who may not otherwise have known about my areas of practice. And when I consider referring a client to an attorney, being listed in Super Lawyers is the only criteria I need.

-- Karl P. Numinen, Numinen, DeForge & Toutant, PC
Brandon M. Schwartz

Inclusion on the Rising Stars list immediately validates you to a prospective client as a knowledgeable and effective attorney. Because the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are limited to the top attorneys in the state, being included on either list immediately gives credence to your abilities to handle the prospective client's matter and lends credibility to any referral I have received.

-- Brandon M. Schwartz, Schwartz Law Firm
Keith A. Williams

The Super Lawyers distinction is a valuable resource for solo practitioners like myself. It provides outside, third-party validation that is so important in an overall marketing strategy.

-- Keith A. Williams, Law Offices of Keith A. Williams, P.A.
Christopher A. Macey, Jr.

My selection assures referral sources that they can refer clients to me with a certain level of confidence that I will be an effective advocate for the client they referred. It also instills potential clients with confidence that they are receiving quality representation from me and the other attorneys at my firm who have also been selected. In addition, it is a nice for me to be able to communicate my selection to the Super Lawyers list to clients and potential clients given the ethical restrictions on attorney advertising that otherwise exist.

-- Christopher A. Macey, Jr., Bell & Bell LLP
Dean Watts

Being recognized to the Super Lawyers list is very prestigious and having the ability to advertise that fact is extremely valuable to my practice.

Thomas E. Lavender III

Being selected to the Super Lawyers list for the past eight years has been very helpful to me receiving referral business. It is an objective measure new referrals can check when they have initial questions while vetting me to be their attorney. I use the Super Lawyers list as a place to go when looking for attorneys to refer clients who have legal needs that are outside my practice area. Seeing a lawyer on the Super Lawyers list gives me confidence that I am referring a client to a quality attorney with expertise in the needed practice area.

-- Thomas E. Lavender III, Lavender Hoffman Emery, LLC
Nancy Ortmeyer Kuhn

My firm's marketing committee honors those attorneys in the firm who have been selected to Super Lawyers. It is a great group to be a part of, and it reflects well on the firm if there are multiple attorneys on the list. I also use it in my own marketing efforts.

Jess Block Nerren

We engage in both print and online opportunities with Super Lawyers—it’s one of our biggest marketing endeavors that our firm participates in each year. We have seen really positive results. A number of our attorneys send me the feedback they receive once everything runs. They’ll get congratulatory notices from people that they know, referral sources, and even people that they interned for 20 years ago before they were partners at the firm. They enjoy that feedback, which is meaningful in such a connected world such as the legal sector.

Because the process by which attorneys are selected to either the Super Lawyers or Rising Stars lists ensures that only those attorneys included have excelled in their practice field, have a special level of knowledge or expertise, and have positive peer recognition, I am confident in using the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists as a referral source for my own clients.

Lyle A. Wallace

In some cases, when I need to make a referral to a lawyer specializing in a practice area where I have no personal relationships, there are a few criteria that I look at and Super Lawyers recognition is one of those. My experience is that lawyers recognized on the Super Lawyers list have a high degree of expertise in their area of specialty and to a person have taken great care of my clients.
