Pritzker Olsen Attorneys Named Minnesota Super Lawyers
Pritzker Olsen is proud to announce the accolades that three of our attorneys have recently received. Firm founder and president Fred Pritzker made the Top 100 Minnesota Lawyers list in addition to being named a Super Lawyer. Attorneys Elliot Olsen and Eric Hageman also made the Super Lawyers list. Attorney Brendan Flaherty made the Rising Star list.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves a rigorous evaluation of a lawyer’s skill and experience. Super Lawyers combines peer nominations and evaluations with third-party research. There are 12 indicators on which each candidate is evaluated and selections are made annually. According to Super Lawyers:
“The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, we limit the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.”
Super Lawyers Selection Steps
- Candidate pool creation
- Candidate research and evaluation
- Peer evaluation within practice areas
These same basic steps apply to the Rising Stars selection process as well. However, these awards are limited to attorneys under the age of 40, or who have been in practice 10 years or fewer. They also do not go through the peer evaluation by practice area. According to Super Lawyers, “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.”
