Why We Have Removed The "SuperLawyer" Logo.

Like other firms who's attorneys were awarded the Connecticut SuperLawyer designation, Alderman & Alderman previously displayed the SuperLawyer logo on our website.  

The designation was provided by the Law and Politics Magazine to lawyers  that it concluded where in the top 5% of the lawyers in the state for their respective areas of practice.  The list was  published in the Connecticut Magazine. The methodology employed was reported to include the  opinions of 13,000 active lawyers in Connecticut who have practice for 5 years or longer.  

The first year of the SuperLawyers list for Connecticut was 2006.

Myles H. Alderman, Jr. was selected as a Connecticut SuperLawyer in the areas of Business Litigation and Business Bankruptcy Law for the years 2006 and 2007.

Linda Alderman (who practiced Environmental Law from 1987 until 2005) was selected as a SuperLawyer in 2006 for her work in the areas of Environmental Law and Land Use before she went on inactive status.

A question has been raised as to whether the use of the term "SuperLawyer" may be misleading.  There are many very capable lawyers licensed to practice law in Connecticut.    The fact that a lawyer has been selected by Law and Politics Magazine as a "Connecticut SuperLawyer," does not guarantee that that lawyer will be able to provide legal services that are  better than another lawyer who was not selected as a Connecticut SuperLawyer.

There are literally thousands of lawyers in Connecticut.  Some may have offices closer to you.  Some may have lower hourly rates. Some may have more experience with a particular area of law.
