Six Cordell & Cordell divorce attorneys were recently named Pennsylvania Rising Stars by Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters rating service of outstanding attorneys.
Kimberly A. Nason and Steven R. Matvey in the firm’s Pittsburgh office, Jamie B. Collins and William J. Phelan, IV out of the firm’s Philadelphia office, Cassandra A. Colombo in Allentown, and Ashley L. Folio Morgan out of Cranberry Township all received the distinction.
This is the fifth time Ms. Morgan, Ms. Nason, and Mr. Phelan have earned the award, the fourth time for Ms. Collins, the second time for Ms. Colombo, and the first time for Mr. Matvey.
Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding attorneys from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional development. 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 the distinction.
The annual Super Lawyer 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.
For the Rising Stars list, lawyers are asked to nominate the best attorneys who are 40 or under, or who have been practicing law 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 Magazine and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country. For more information about Super Lawyers, visit SuperLawyers.com.
