Ulmer & Berne LLP announces that 43 of its attorneys have been selected to the 2015 Ohio Super Lawyers list. In addition, 19 of the firm’s attorneys have been selected to the 2015 Ohio Super Lawyers’ Rising Stars list, a designation reserved for the industry’s best lawyers either 40 years old or under or in practice for 10 years or less, as nominated by their peers.
Two Ulmer & Berne attorneys received special recognition – Michael N. Ungar and Frances Floriano Goins. For the third consecutive year, Mr. Ungar tops the entire list and ranks #1 of all attorneys in Ohio and Ms. Goins was recognized as one of the Top 50 female attorneys in Ohio as well as one of the Top 25 female attorneys in Cleveland.
Ohio Super Lawyers showcases outstanding lawyers in Ohio who are recognized by their peers for professional accomplishments. Only five percent of Ohio lawyers are chosen as Ohio Super Lawyers and 2.5 percent are recognized as Rising Stars. The annual selections are made using a patented multi-phase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.
