JACKSONVILLE, FL, June 16, 2017 – Rogers Towers, one of Florida’s oldest full service law firms, is pleased to announce that 15 of its attorneys were named to the 2017 Super Lawyers® list and 6 were named to the 2017 Super Lawyers® – Rising Stars list. Additionally, Christopher C. Hazelip was named to the Super Lawyers® Top 100.
According to www.SuperLawyers.com, Super Lawyers® 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. To compile the lists, Super Lawyers® selects attorneys using a patented (U.S. Pat. No. 8,412,564) multi-phase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis. The final published list represents no more than 5% of the lawyers in the state.
The selection process for the Rising Stars list is the same as the Super Lawyers® selection process, with one exception: to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger, or in practice for 10 years or less. While up to 5% of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers®, no more than 2.5% are named to the Rising Stars list.
The Super Lawyers® Top 100 represents the listing of lawyers who ranked at the top of the list in the 2017 Florida Super Lawyers®.
