10/21/2013
John A. Collins, III of Suisman Shapiro Attorneys at Law have again been named to the Connecticut and New England Super Lawyers lists as top attorneys for 2013. Each year, no more than five percent of attorneys in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are selected by Super Lawyers. In addition, Eric W. Callahan has been named to the Rising Stars list; each year, no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state under the age of 40 are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor.
Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a rigorous, multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an individual research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers magazines and in leading city and regional magazines across the country. The first Super Lawyers list was published in 1991, and by 2009 the rating service had expanded nationwide. In February 2010, Super Lawyers was acquired by Thomson Reuters, the world’s leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals.
“Suisman Shapiro congratulates Eric Callahan for being selected as a Rising Star, and the firm is honored to once again have three of our senior level attorneys chosen for this very special recognition by Super Lawyers and our peers,” said John Collins, the firm’s Managing Director.
