Sep 24, 2020, 15:12 ET
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Grewal Law, PLLC Attorneys Manvir "Mick" S. Grewal, David S. Mittleman and Scott Weidenfeller were selected to the 2020 Michigan Super Lawyers® list, and Attorneys John Fraser and Nolan L. Erickson were named to the 2020 Michigan Rising Stars list. The selection process for these lists is extraordinarily rigorous, resulting in only 5% of the nation's practicing attorneys being included in the Super Lawyers® list, and only 2.5% in the Rising Stars list.
The Super Lawyers® selection process is composed of four steps:
- Nominations by a third party, such as through a managing partner survey, third party feedback or simple peer nomination.
- Independent research on 12 professional achievement and peer recognition indicators, including verdicts, settlements and pro bono work.
- Peer evaluation in which candidates are evaluated by the Blue Ribbon Panel.
- If an attorney passes the prior three steps, they are selected either to the Super Lawyers® or Rising Stars list.
There is one distinction between Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars, as the latter is reserved for attorneys 40 years old or younger who are in the first decade of their careers.
Selection to the Super Lawyers® or Rising Stars list requires a high degree of peer recognition for an attorney's accomplishments throughout their legal career, so it is a great honor to pass the selection and review processes and appear in these publications.
