Nevada attorneys Steve Oshins and Richard Oshins were named Super Lawyers and Heidi Freeman, Kristen Simmons and Katie Colombo were named Rising Stars, all in the Estate Planning & Probate category.

Las Vegas, NV, July 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Law Offices of Oshins & Associates, LLC, a national law firm located in Las Vegas, Nevada, is pleased to announce its attorneys who were named Super Lawyers and Rising Stars for 2009 by Mountain States Super Lawyers magazine. Specifically, attorneys Steve Oshins and Richard Oshins were named Super Lawyers in Estate Planning & Probate and attorneys Heidi Freeman, Kristen Simmons and Katie Colombo were named Rising Stars in Estate Planning & Probate.

According to the superlawyers.com website, in selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, the magazine employs a rigorous, multiphase process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.

The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. The Super Lawyers selection process involves three basic steps: creation of the candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by the research department; and peer evaluation by practice area. The final published list represents no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state. All attorneys selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers, regardless of year, can be found on superlawyers.com.

The selection process for Rising Stars is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process except that: 1) to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less; 2) Candidates for Rising Stars do not go through step three above—peer evaluation by practice area. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
