Super Lawyers Rising Stars 2014–2016: Recognizing Emerging Legal Talent
The Super Lawyers Rising Stars designation is among the most respected early-career honors in the legal profession. Administered by Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, the recognition spans more than 70 practice areas and is awarded only to attorneys who have demonstrated a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process is deliberately rigorous, combining a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation, and peer reviews conducted by practice area.
What Makes Rising Stars an Exclusive Honor?
Eligibility for the Rising Stars list is itself selective. A candidate must be either 40 years old or younger, or have been in practice for 10 years or fewer. Even among those who qualify, only 2.5% of attorneys in each state are ultimately chosen — the same threshold that earned Austin R. Freundlich and Gregory C. Littman their repeated recognition from 2014 through 2016. That three consecutive years of selection reflects not a single standout moment, but a sustained pattern of excellence, ethical practice, and client advocacy.
What This Recognition Means for Freundlich & Littman Clients
For clients seeking legal representation, the Super Lawyers Rising Stars distinction offers meaningful reassurance. It confirms that the attorneys handling their matters have been independently vetted by both peers and researchers, validating their competence and professional standing early in their careers. Specifically, this recognition signals:
- Thorough vetting through an independent, multi-step selection process
- Peer-endorsed skill and ethical standards within their practice areas
- A demonstrated record of achieving favorable outcomes for clients
- Consistent recognition over multiple years, not a one-time distinction
A Foundation for Continued Growth
Being named to the Rising Stars list from 2014 to 2016 marked an important chapter in the professional development of Freundlich & Littman's attorneys. These acknowledgments reinforced the firm's broader commitment to building a team of top-tier legal talent — attorneys who bring innovative thinking and substantive results to even the most complex legal challenges. The recognition serves as both a reflection of past achievement and a strong indicator of the sophisticated, results-driven representation clients continue to receive today.
