Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this distinction.

Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.

Ms. Lewellen, a lead attorney at the firm’s San Francisco and San Mateo offices, was selected to the list for the first time. Previously, she received the ALI and ABA Scholarship and Leadership Award, earned High Honors in Written Advocacy Award at the McGeorge School of Law, and was a member of the Traynor Honor Society and Golden Key National Honor Society.

The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys.

Lawyers are asked to nominate the best attorneys who are 40 or under, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. They are instructed to nominate lawyers they have personally observed in action — whether as opposing counsel or co-counsel, or through other firsthand courtroom observation.

The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers Magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country. For more information about Super Lawyers, visit SuperLawyers.com.
