One of my favorite quotes from the 2010
Super Lawyers magazine reader survey is:
“Being named to the Super Lawyers list
was an honor, and I received a number of
congratulatory notes from some of the best
health care lawyers in the state. From the
publicity, I received two new health care
clients and many of my existing clients
mentioned it, too.”
Our mission at Super Lawyers is to
bring visibility to attorneys who exhibit
excellence in practice through an annual
listing and through editorial in our
magazines and online. Our selection
process is rigorous, our editorial is
compelling, and our print and online
distribution is unparalleled. We love to
hear stories of attorneys and clients or
referring attorneys connecting because of
Super Lawyers; please share yours with us
at sl-edit@thomsonreuters.com.
I hope you enjoy this annual Super Lawyers
magazine. Reach for it when you need to
refer a case to an attorney in a specific
practice area, or when you need a little
inspiration—the attorneys featured in our
editorial have achieved excellence in their
practice and they lead interesting lives, too.
We’re honored to tell their stories.
My best to you,
BARB MCGIVERN
