Law & Politics magazine publishes the annual Super Lawyers publication to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and sophisticated consumers in the search for legal counsel.
More than 800,000 attorneys nationwide, and 44,000 in Florida, were invited to participate in the 2007 Super Lawyers survey. Participants were asked to nominate the best attorneys they´ve personally observed in action. Lawyers cannot vote for themselves. The publication’s research department examines the background and experience of each candidate, searching for evidence of peer recognition and professional achievement.
