All Twelve Partners at Corboy & Demetrio Named to 2008 Illinois Super Lawyers Listing

All twelve partners at Corboy & Demetrio have been named to the 2008 Illinois Super Lawyers listing. Super Lawyers identifies attorneys in each state who receive the highest point totals, as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law & Politics magazine. In addition, two young lawyers at Corboy & Demetrio have been named to the Illinois Rising Stars list. Rising Stars names the state's top up-and-coming attorneys

Since its inception, all twelve partners have been named Super Lawyers. They are David R. Barry, Jr., Robert J. Bingle, Barry R. Chafetz, Philip H. Corboy, Philip Harnett Corboy, Jr., Michael K. Demetrio, Thomas A. Demetrio, Shawn S. Kasserman, Daniel M. Kotin, Francis Patrick Murphy, Susan J. Schwartz and René A. Torrado, Jr. Daniel S. Kirschner and Michelle M. Kohut were named to the Rising Stars list this year.

“We are honored to have our attorneys included among Illinois Super Lawyers, said Robert J. Bingle, managing partner. “To have all our partners not only selected but included each and every year, is indicative of the caliber of attorneys here at Corboy & Demetrio.”

Law & Politics, the publisher, mails ballots to attorneys throughout Illinois and asks those attorneys to nominate the best lawyers in various fields. Law & Politics also searches for outstanding lawyers by reviewing databases, national and local periodicals and trade journals. The final selection is made by dividing firms by size and attorneys by practice areas, and then checking each candidate’s standing with the Illinois State Bar.

The Illinois Rising Stars selections are based on nominations by members of the Illinois Super Lawyers list. Rising Stars are the up-and-coming Illinois attorneys who are 40 or younger or have been in practice for fewer than 10 years.

According to Super Lawyers, the objective of the selection process is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and sophisticated consumers in the search for legal counsel.
