Firm Attorneys Recognized as Super Lawyers

Fifty-two SHB attorneys have been selected for special recognition in various state editions of Super Lawyers 2006, an annual guide to outstanding practitioners.  As part of the publication's selection process, nominations for Super Lawyers are received through peer recognition ballots, and additional candidates are identified through an independent search.  Final candidates are then graded on a point scale based on experience, professional achievements, bar activities, pro bono and community service, and scholarly lectures and writings.  Only the state's top 5 percent of lawyers are listed.
