Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters publication, rates outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. No more than five percent of attorneys in each state are named Super Lawyers, and no more than 2.5 percent are named Rising Stars. 

These recognitions reflect the respect Kelley Kronenberg’s attorneys have earned from their peers and the depth of experience they bring to every matter.
