Oregon Super Lawyers is an annual list published by Law & Politics magazine list that recognizes outstanding achievement among lawyers from 70-plus practice areas.

Oregon Rising Stars is an annual list also published by Law & Politics magazine that denotes the top “up-and-coming” attorneys in Oregon who are either 40 years of age or less or have no more than ten years experience practicing law. In order to be selected for inclusion in Oregon Rising Stars, lawyers must receive the highest marks of achievement from their peers and an independent, attorney-led research team. Only 2.5 percent of attorneys in Oregon receive this honor.

Mr. Neiman, Mr. Pitcher, Ms. Peters, Ms. Van Meter and Ms. Voss will appear in the November 2009 issue of Oregon Super Lawyers & Rising Stars magazine and in special supplements in The New York Times and The Oregonian.
