I must admit – I never thought this could happen. The 2019 Illinois Super Lawyers list includes – me! Given the long history of recognizing lawyers for “wins,” which usually means litigation wins, I didn’t think a settlement-only lawyer like me would ever make the list.
But times are changing. My skills and achievements have officially been recognized by an outside ranking organization.
Here’s the official press release…
We are pleased to announce that Theresa Beran Kulat has been selected to the 2019 Illinois Super Lawyers list. This is an exclusive list, recognizing no more than five percent of attorneys in the state.
Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a research-driven, peer influenced rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Attorneys are selected from more than 70 practice areas and all firm sizes, assuring a credible and relevant annual list.
The annual selections are made using a patented multi-phase process that includes:
- Peer nominations
- Independent research by Super Lawyers
- Evaluations from a highly credentialed panel of attorneys
The objective of Super Lawyers is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys to be used as a resource for both referring attorneys and consumers seeking legal counsel.
The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers Magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country, as well as the Illinois Super Lawyers Digital Magazine.
