No more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in Illinois are selected to the Rising Stars list. Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding attorneys from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Attorneys cannot pay to be listed as a Super Lawyers’ Rising Star. The annual selections are made using a rigorous multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of attorneys, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area.
