Fifty-one Chattanooga-area attorneys have been named to the 2019 edition of Mid-South Super Lawyers, which recognizes attorneys in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
To attain Super Lawyer status, attorneys must first be nominated by their peers in Tennessee. Each year, an attorney-led research team at Super Lawyers undertakes a selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent evaluation of candidates, a peer review of candidates by practice area and a good-standing and disciplinary check.
Only 2.5% of the state’s attorneys make it through the multiphased selection process. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys, says a Super Lawyers press release.
