Super Lawyers and Rising Stars 2013
Eastman & Smith Ltd. is proud to present its attorneys who have been selected for inclusion in the 2013 Ohio Super Lawyers and Ohio Rising Stars. Super Lawyers magazine generates a listing of attorneys, specifically, the top five percent in each state. To be designated a Super Lawyer, attorneys must have successfully gained high peer recognition, have reached achievement of some degree in their field and have consistently met ethical standards. Rising Stars are limited to just 2.5% of attorneys in the state. The selection criteria for Rising Stars is very similar to that of Super Lawyers. However, only those attorneys who are younger than 40 and/or have practiced for less than 10 years are eligible for Rising Star consideration.
