Super Lawyers has released its lists of outstanding attorneys for 2018 in various regions throughout the U.S. Selected to this year's Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are 115 Gordon & Rees attorneys. For the second consecutive year, special honors went to John Palmeri and Franz Hardy who were named to the Top 100 Super Lawyers list for their respective regions. Elizabeth Lorell* was also named to the Top 50 Women Super Lawyers list in New Jersey for the second consecutive year.

The selection of Super Lawyers is a result of independent research by the team at Super Lawyers to determine no more than the top 5 percent of legal professionals in each geographic region. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in each geographic region are selected by the research team to the Rising Stars list.

Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.  Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators including verdicts and settlements, transactions, representative clients, experience, honors and awards, special licenses and certifications, position within the law firm, bar and other professional activity, pro bono and community service as a lawyer, scholarly lectures and writings, education and employment background, and other outstanding achievements.

The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers Magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country. Super Lawyer Magazines also feature editorial profiles of attorneys who embody excellence in the practice of law.
