Bricker attorneys recognized in 2018 Super Lawyers list

Recognized for their outstanding legal service, 42 Bricker & Eckler attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2018 Ohio Super Lawyers list. Notably, this year’s list includes five newly listed attorneys (noted with a *). Additionally, three attorneys were included in “top” lists for their state, region and/or gender.

Super Lawyers is an annual, state-by-state ranking of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Attorneys are selected using a rigorous, multiphase rating process that combines peer nominations and evaluations with independent research. Twelve indicators are used to highlight the elite performers in each practice area. The Super Lawyers designation was established to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys and is used as a resource for both attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel.
