Inclusion in Super Lawyers Magazine is based on an exhaustive and rigorous multi-phase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluation of candidates by Law & Politics’ attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area, and a good-standing and disciplinary check.

Doug Chalgian was also selected as a Top-100 Attorney in Michigan for Super Lawyers Magazine and Amy Tripp was selected in the Rising Star section of the magazine. In order to be included in the Top-100, Mr. Chalgian had to receive the highest point totals in the 2009 Michigan Super Lawyers nomination, research and blue ribbon review process.  In order for Ms. Tripp to be included in the Rising Star section of Super Lawyers Magazine, she had to meet the same rigorous criteria (except for peer evaluation by practice area) and be 40 years old or younger or in practice for less than 10 years- only 2.5% of attorneys make it into the Rising Star category.  Both Doug and John were included in the 2007 and 2008 edition of Super Lawyers Magazine and Amy was included in the 2008 Rising Star section of Super Lawyers Magazine as well.
