Randi Nelson of Nusbaum & Parrino Earns Recognitions; Rising Stars by Super Lawyers and 10 Best in Family Law by AIOFLA

WESTPORT, Conn., Oct. 20, 2015 – Randi Nelson, an associate attorney at Nusbaum & Parrino P.C., has been selected as a 2015 Connecticut Rising Star by Super Lawyers. In addition, the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys has selected Nelson as one of the 10 Best Family Law Attorneys for Client Satisfaction in Connecticut.

“This is an honor reserved for those lawyers who exhibit excellence in practice,” according to Cindy Larson, publisher for Super Lawyers magazine. The selection process for the Rising Stars list is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process, with one exception: to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger, or in practice for 10 years or less.

All attorneys first go through the Super Lawyers selection process. Those who are not selected to the Super Lawyers list, but who meet either one of the Rising Stars eligibility requirements, go through the Rising Stars selection process. While up to five percent of lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.

“The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys is an impartial third-party attorney rating service recognizing excellence of practitioners in their respective fields. Its rating system helps clients throughout the United States make educated decisions when it comes to choosing their attorney,” said Cynthia Stanley, AIOFLA board of regents. “Membership is exclusive and extended only to those select few who have reached the top of their profession while doing so with the client’s satisfaction being of the most paramount importance.”

Super Lawyers, a Thomson-Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations.

Super Lawyers magazine features the list and profiles of selected attorneys, and is distributed to attorneys in the state or region and ABA-accredited law school libraries. Super Lawyers is also published as a special section in leading city and regional magazines across the country.
