Pennsylvania Super Lawyer (2006)
» How Super Lawyers Are Selected:
In 2005, Law and Politics and the publisher of Philadelphia Magazine attempted to find the currently outstanding lawyers in Pennsylvania. Attorneys throughout the state were asked to nominate the best lawyers they have personally observed in action. A rigorous selection process was thereafter undertaken by Law and Politics, which included surveys of other attorneys, research on the credentials of the nominated attorney, and review by a blue ribbon panel before the attorney received the designation as a “Super Lawyer”. The goal was to select as Super Lawyers the top five (5%) percent of Pennsylvania attorneys.

Richard M. Serbin is proud to be recognized by his peers as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer for 2006.
