QMM partner, Jason A. Marker, was recently selected by SuperLawyers Magazine as a "Rising Star." The magazine just released its 2012 edition, in which it selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase process in which peer nominations and evaluations are combined with independent research. Each year, the magazine's attorney-led research staff searches for lawyers who have attained honors or results. The researchers evaluate candidates in 12 different areas of peer recognition and professional achievement. Candidates are grouped into their primary practice areas and those who receive the highest points totals are asked to serve on a review panel. Attorneys with the highest totals from each category are selected.
In order to be selected as a "Rising Star," a candidate must be (1) either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less; (2) candidates for Rising Stars do not go through step three above—peer evaluation by practice area. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
Congratulations to Mr. Marker on his this selection and his achievements. Mr. Marker represents people who have sustained significant injuries in the workplace, via automobile collisions, or slip and falls. He offers a free half hour consultation on all matters.
