Five Attorneys from Rocky McElhaney Law Firm Named to 2022 MidSouth Super Lawyers!

By Rocky McElhaney | June 27, 2022

Rocky McElhaney Law Firm is celebrating today: five members of the RML family were recognized by Super Lawyers in 2022! Rocky McElhaney was named to the MidSouth Super Lawyers list, and four attorneys – Steve Fifield, Michael Fisher, Justin Hight and Andrea Stilgenbauer – were named to the Rising Stars list.

Every year, Super Lawyers recognizes “outstanding lawyers” from across the country, in 70 different practice areas, “who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.” Out of all the eligible attorneys in a field or region, only 5% will be named to the annual Super Lawyers list. Rising Stars, which honors attorneys who are under the age of 40 or have been in practice for fewer than 10 years, limits its award to only 2.5% of all eligible applicants.

What makes Super Lawyers so different from other objective ratings services is that you cannot nominate or vote for yourself, and you can’t buy your way onto the list: you must earn your spot. There’s no guarantee that you’ll be nominated or selected from year to year, either.
