Announcing our Firm’s 2023 Super Lawyers!
Newly added in 2023 to our roster of Super Lawyers is Michael Braunstein awarded into the select group of Rising Stars for Attorneys under 40 years of age and in practice 10 years or less.
2023 continues to award the prestigious Super Lawyers to firm partners Robert Zarco awarded since 2006, Robert Einhorn awarded since 2021, Robert Salkowski awarded since 2012, and Himanshu Patel awarded since 2021.
The Super Lawyers award is extended to less than 5% of Attorneys nationwide, while Rising Stars make up less than 2.5% of young attorneys. Every year, Attorneys are nominated by their peers or identified by their research department, who then screens the pool of candidates by 12 indicators evaluating for experience and excellence. Those are then ranked by their leading professional peers by practice area in a “blue ribbon review” process rating them from a scale of 1 to 5. Finally, those with the highest point totals grouped by firm size are selected.
Congratulations to all of this year’s Super Lawyers. Thank You to the research committee and professional peers for their support, and of course, to our long list of esteemed clients who place great trust and confidence in us for guiding them in enhancing and protecting their livelihoods.
