Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.  The annual selections are made using a rigorous multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area.

The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers magazines and in leading city and regional magazines across the country.  Super Lawyers magazines also feature editorial profiles of attorneys who embody excellence in the practice of law.  For more information about Super Lawyers, go to superlawyers.com.

The first Super Lawyers list was published in 1991 and by 2009 the rating service had expanded nationwide.  In February 2010 Super Lawyers was acquired by Thomson Reuters the world’s leading source of intelligent information for business and professionals.

Mark and Eric have also earned an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which provides independent peer review based ratings.  The AV Rating is the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell rating.  It signifies that the attorney has reached the highest level of professional skill and excellence along with the highest level of professionalism and ethics.
