Benesch is pleased to announce that 28 of its Ohio attorneys have been named 2019 Ohio Super Lawyers and 15 have been named 2019 Ohio Rising Stars by Super Lawyers®.

The Super Lawyers selection process evaluates lawyers based upon multiple criteria, including professional achievement and peer recognition; honors and awards; firm and bar involvement and leadership; scholarship and professional writings; community service and pro bono activities; and other outstanding achievements.  Rising Stars are top up-and-coming attorneys who are no more than 40 years old or who have been practicing for no more than 10 years. 

Only five percent of Ohio lawyers are chosen as Ohio Super Lawyers and no more than 2.5 percent in the state are recognized as Rising Stars. Particular congratulations to Brian Ramm for being included in the Ohio Super Lawyers Top 100 List!
