September 25, 2015- Two local attorneys, with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement, have been recognized as exceptional lawyers in Washington State. Selection was made through a research-driven, rating service of Thomson Reuters, an international information firm, using a multiphase process of:
- Peer Nominations
- Independent Research
- Evaluation by Highly Credentialed Attorneys
Leslie Clark, an associate at Phillips Burgess LLC, was selected to the 2015 Washington Super Lawyers list. This exclusive list recognizes no more than 5% of the attorneys in the state. Leslie’s focuses her practice on land use and environmental issues and related litigation, advising many private and public sector clients on land development and entitlements.
Martha Wehling, another Phillips Burgess associate, was selected for the Rising Stars list which uses the same patented selection process as Super Lawyers and recognizes no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state. Martha advises clients on land use, environmental and natural resource issues, including those related to SEPA, NEPA and listed species.
“We are delighted to see Leslie and Martha receive this third-party validation for their exceptional work,” shares attorney Richard “Mick” Phillips, Phillips Burgess co-founder.
Super Lawyers is the lawyer rating service of Thomson Reuters, the world’s leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals. The objective of the list is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys to be used as a resource for both referring attorneys and consumers seeking legal counsel.
Phillips Burgess PLLC is a boutique law firm, supporting clients’ legal and litigation needs throughout the Pacific Northwest. With offices in Olympia and Tacoma, the firm’s team has more than doubled in size since its founding in 2012 and includes a highly skilled, passionate team of experienced attorneys, many of whom who have been recognized for excellence. The firm focuses on four practice areas: Land Use, Environmental, Real Estate and Natural Resources.
