MacElree Harvey – a full-service law firm with offices in West Chester, Kennett Square, Doylestown, Bala Cynwyd, and Centreville, Del. – has announced that eight of its attorneys have been selected to the 2017 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers list and five have been named Pennsylvania Rising Stars.

Each year, the research team at Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters rating service and publication, selects outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas through a rigorous, multi‐phased process that includes:

• a statewide survey of lawyers
• an independent evaluation of candidates by the attorney-led research staff
• a peer review of candidates by practice area
• a good-standing and disciplinary check

Candidates are evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including verdicts and settlements; honors and awards; special licenses and certifications; pro bono and community service efforts; and scholarly lectures and writings. The ultimate objective of Super Lawyers is to create a credible, comprehensive, and diverse list of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for other practitioners and consumers searching for legal counsel.
