It’s no secret that I think lawyer review sites can be useful for lawyers who are really good at practicing law and consumers alike. You can read my thoughts about other attorney review sites by checking out the Lawyer Review Websites category of this blog.
In this post, I'm covering SuperLawyers.com and what it offers lawyers and folks who need legal counsel – or may need it in the future. Psss –this includes everyone … you too!
Founded in 1991 and often touted as one of the web's most trusted online attorney directories, Thomas Reuter’s Superlawyers.com provides a rating system and in-depth analysis of top-ranking lawyers, who together represent over 70 practice areas. All featured lawyers have attained a high degree of professional achievement and peer recognition in their practice area.
