Three members of the New York law firm of Schwartzapfel Truhowsky Marcus P.C., have been selected for inclusion in the 2009 New York Super Lawyers magazine.
Steven J. Schwartzapfel, Robert B. Marcus and Duane Fiedler were chosen for the 2009 New York Super Lawyers list, which is compiled by Law & Politics, a division of Key Professional Media Inc., of Minneapolis, Minn. The list represents no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state.
"It's flattering when our professionalism and hard work on behalf of our clients is recognized," said Steven J. Schwartzapfel, founding member of Schwartzapfel Partners, a New York personal injury law firm.
Each year, Law & Politics undertakes a multi-phase selection process that evaluates each candidate on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement.
The review process 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. The objective is to create a credible and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel.
