NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Wigdor was recently selected as a Blue Ribbon Panelist for attorney rating service Super Lawyers in the employment litigation/labor and employment field. Only those in each practice area with the highest point totals are asked as part of the panel to evaluate the candidacy of fellow lawyers to enter the prestigious Super Lawyer rankings. Mr. Wigdor, after receiving one of the highest point totals, will now rate other candidates from his practice area and provide his recommendations during the peer evaluation process.

As one of the top employment discrimination and harassment lawyers, Mr. Wigdor has also received an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell with Avvo, a well-respected lawyer-rating agency, rating Mr. Wigdor at 10.0, its highest rating. More recently, Mr. Wigdor has been asked by Law360 to become a member of their 2014 Employment Law Editorial Advisory Board. Members of this board serve as a resource for Law360 to get feedback on the publication's coverage in addition to insight from experts in the field, such as Mr. Wigdor.

Over the past eight years, the New York Law Journal has featured Mr. Wigdor and Wigdor LLP's clients in top New York State verdicts six times, including the number one employment verdict in 2011, and the number two employment verdict and number one disability discrimination verdict in 2012.

Mr. Wigdor, on the announcement of Blue Ribbon Panelists, said "I am privileged to be selected among the Blue Ribbon Panelists in the most comprehensive and independent review of outstanding lawyers. To be selected as a Super Lawyer is such an achievement in itself- to have my opinion considered in the evaluation of my peers receiving the prestigious title of Super Lawyer is an honor."
