# Eleven FMJ Attorneys Named ‘Super Lawyers’ and ‘Rising Stars’ for 2017

We are proud to announce that more than one-third of our attorneys have been named 2017 ‘Super Lawyers’ and ‘Rising Stars.’

Super Lawyers rates outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. Up to 5 percent of the lawyers in a state are named to Super Lawyers, and no more than 2.5 percent are named to Rising Stars. Super Lawyers is a registered trademark of Thomson Reuters.
