Frantz Ward LLP is proud to announce that thirty-seven attorneys have been selected to the 2020 Ohio Super Lawyers list. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected for this honor.
Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, selects outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections use a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.
Twenty-five Frantz Ward attorneys have been named to the Ohio Super Lawyers list and 12 are recognized on the list of Ohio Super Lawyers Rising Stars, a designation provided to attorneys age 40 and under or in practice for 10 years or less.
