The Work of Super Lawyers and the Top 100 List

 

Steven Schlesinger is an attorney who studied at Hofstra University School of Law in New York to earn his juris doctor before starting his career with Jaspan Schlesinger, LLP. Steven Schlesinger graduated in the top 10 percent of his class and was named a “Top 100 New York Super Lawyer” in 2014, 2015, and 2016 in the business litigation category serving the New York metro area, which includes parts of New Jersey.

Super Lawyers is an organization that rates the performance of attorneys from over 70 practice areas, creating lists of the top-performing legal professionals. The lists, including the “Top 100s,” are decided based on a 12-indicator system that focuses on the core categories of peer recognition and professional achievement.

The group carries out independent research on each attorney it ranks, with the goal of creating a credible and objective list of the best attorneys in each practice area in each state. The lists are limited to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the general public, and achieving a ranking on a “Top 100” list is considered an honor and recognition of the attorney’s talents.
