Cordell & Cordell Franklin divorce attorney Erin King was recently recognized as a Rising Star in the family law practice area by Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters rating service of outstanding attorneys.
This is the first time Ms. King has won the award. Previously, she has received numerous awards, including the Thomas Jefferson School of Law Witkin Award for Academic Excellence, the CALI Excellence for Future Award, the Jefferson Medal in Advanced Trial Advocacy, and the Thomas Jefferson School of Law Jefferson Medal in Mediation.
Ms. King earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and her Bachelor of Arts in English, magna cum laude, from the University of Tennessee. She is a member of the Williamson County Bar Association and serves on the board for Sumner County Teen Court.
Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have obtained a high degree of peer recognition and professional development.
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.
For the Rising Stars List, lawyers are asked to nominate the best attorneys who are age 40 or younger, 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 through other firsthand courtroom observation.
The lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers Magazine, and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country. For more information, visit SuperLawyers.com.
