What Super Lawyers Recognition Means

Super Lawyers is a rating service that selects attorneys through a rigorous process that includes nominations, independent research, and peer evaluation. It considers professional achievements and peer recognition and makes selections annually by jurisdiction. The recognition belongs to the selected attorney and isn’t a certification in a legal specialty.

Employment Representation for Workers

Fitapelli & Schaffer represents employees in individual lawsuits and class and collective actions. Our work includes claims involving unpaid wages, overtime, tips, commissions, workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. We represent workers in New York and nationwide, with the requirements for representation depending on the jurisdiction and the case.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT Super Lawyers Recognition


What’s the difference between Super Lawyers and Rising Stars?

Rising Stars uses the same selection process as Super Lawyers, with an additional eligibility requirement: candidates must be 40 or younger or have practiced for 10 years or less. The lists are separate designations. An attorney’s selection can change over time, so check the list name and years shown on the attorney’s profile.

Can an attorney pay to be selected to Super Lawyers?

No. Super Lawyers states that it separates its research and selection process from advertising. Selected attorneys receive a listing without having to buy advertising. Attorneys can purchase marketing products, but those purchases don’t determine selection.

Does Super Lawyers select law firms or individual attorneys?

The selection applies to individual attorneys. A firm can identify the attorneys it employs who were selected and the years of their selections. A law firm directory listing doesn’t mean every attorney at the firm has received the designation.

Does Super Lawyers recognition guarantee the outcome of my case?

No. Recognition doesn’t predict whether a claim will succeed or how much someone might recover. When choosing an employment attorney, ask about experience with your type of dispute, how the attorney would evaluate your situation, and the proposed fees and communication arrangements. Every case depends on its facts and the applicable law.
