*“Super Lawyers” are based on ballots
mailed to attorneys in California asking them to vote for best
lawyers they had personally observed in action. Nominees then are put
through a selection process including peer review & credential fact
checking.
**“Rising Stars” (who must be under 40 or in practice less than 10
years) are selected through a similar process with the exception that
nominations are solicited from “Super Lawyers” in their geographic
region. |
