Galfand Berger is proud to announce that Super Lawyers has selected attorneys Rick Jurewicz, Peter Patton, Arthur Bugay, and Norman J. Weinstein to the 2018 Super Lawyers list.  In addition, Super Lawyers has named Bradley R. Smith as a 2018 Rising Star!

What are Super Lawyers and Rising Stars?

Both the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers and Rising Stars awardees undergo a vigorous selection process.  Super Lawyers selects attorneys through peer recommendation, professional achievement and third-party feedback. Each candidate is then further evaluated based on twelve indicators including verdicts and settlements, pro bono and community services, experience, special licenses, certifications, and more.

In fact, only 5% of all Pennsylvania attorneys receive this distinction.  Moreover, only 2.5% of Pennsylvania attorneys, under the age of 40, receive the Rising Star award!
