Search Super Lawyers for the Top U.S. Lawyers
Choose a State
This site lists all lawyers who have been selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers or Rising Stars (outstanding young and new attorneys) since 2003. We also list other lawyers who have not been selected, but carry some other Star Search credential (e.g., have been certified as a specialist) that indicates a high degree of peer recognition or professional achievement.
Super Lawyers is a great place to start your search for legal counsel or to check on a lawyer who’s been recommended to you. But don’t rely exclusively on this or any other listing in selecting an attorney. Search first by your location (state, then city or town) then by area of practice. If you can’t decide which area of practice fits your situation, use the keyword search function (this option will appear after selecting a state).
Super Lawyers magazine names attorneys in each state who received the highest point totals, as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law & Politics. Rising Stars names the state's top up-and-coming attorneys.
Super Lawyers magazine is published in all 50 states and reaches more than 13 million readers.

In selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, Law & Politics employs a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.
The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and consumers in the search for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in the selection of a lawyer, we limit the list to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.
