Super Lawyers®, a Thomson Reuter 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. The patented annual selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. The Great Plains Super Lawyers® list is made up of lawyers in Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The Rising Star distinction honors leading attorneys who are either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. While up to 5 percent of the lawyers in a state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to Rising Stars.
Brenda Blazer, Attorney in our Bismarck office was included on the Top 5: 2023 North Dakota Super Lawyers list.
The Super Lawyers Top Lists are subset of the overall Super Lawyers list. Selection follows the same selection process as of the overall Super Lawyers list, which includes multiple stages: peer nominations, independent research evaluations and peer evaluations by practice area. Each stage of the process carries a certain point value. At the end of the process the points are totaled and those with the highest points are recognized on our top lists.
