Eight RWCS attorneys were recently recognized by Super Lawyers® for their professional accomplishments. This translates to more than one-third of RWCS attorneys being selected for distinction by this publication. Pat Ryan, Phillip Whaley, Steve Jantzen and Dan Webber were chosen as Oklahoma Super Lawyers for 2009. Pat Ryan was also recognized as a Top Ten Oklahoma Super Lawyer. Jason Ryan, Patrick (“Ricky”) Pearce, Paula Jantzen and Grant Lucky were chosen as Oklahoma Rising Stars for 2009.
“In selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, Law & Politics employs a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis. The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Five percent of the total lawyers in the state are selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers.”
“The selection process for Rising Stars is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process except that: 1) to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less; 2) Candidates for Rising Stars do not go through step three above—peer evaluation by practice area. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.”
