COLUMBUS, Ohio – Continuing the firm’s trend of excellence and distinction, 42 Bricker & Eckler attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2016 Ohio Super Lawyers list.

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. Additionally, Ohio Super Lawyer recognizes Rising Stars, the state's top up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or have been practicing for 10 years or less.
