Portland, OR – Oregon’s leading labor and employment law firm, Bullard Law, is privileged to announce that 10 of its attorneys have been named either 2016 Oregon Super Lawyers® or Oregon Rising Stars® by Oregon Super Lawyers Magazine.
 
Every year Super Lawyers selects attorneys from over 70 practice areas and varying firm sizes to determine the state’s leading lawyers. Of approximately 5% of lawyers in the state named as Super Lawyers and up to 2.5% as Rising Stars for 2016, Bullard Law attorneys include: Francis T. Barnwell, C. Akin Blitz, Jacqueline M. Damm, Kathryn M. Hindman, Thomas I. Kramer, Victoria L. Macpherson, David J. Riewald, Maryann Yelnosky, Megan Crowhurst and Benjamin P. O’Glasser.
 
This year, C. Akin Blitz has joined Francis T. Barnwell, Kathryn M. Hindman, Thomas I. Kramer and Maryann Yelnosky in being recognized by Super Lawyers for 10 years.
 
Attorneys selected by Super Lawyers are chosen as a result of an extensive four part patented process. They are first nominated into the candidate pool through either a managing partner survey, peer nominations, third party feedback or by the Super Lawyers research team. Secondly, an attorney-led research team evaluates the candidates on 12 indicators: verdicts/settlements, transactions, representative clients, experience, honors and awards, special licenses/certifications, position within law firm, bar and/or professional activity, pro bono and community service, scholarly lectures/writings, education/employment background and other outstanding achievements. Candidates are then reviewed by a panel of peers in their practice area. Lastly, candidates are grouped into four categories by the size of their firm, and those with the highest point totals from their category are selected.
 
The Super Lawyers selection process is aimed 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.” Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis and are published in Super Lawyers Magazine nationwide, as well as within state and regional magazines and newspapers. Bullard Law and its attorneys are honored to be included in this year’s, as well as all previous, selections.
