Peer-reviewed attorney rankings like Super Lawyers help shape client decisions and industry trends in the legal profession.
As legal clients increasingly seek recognized and credentialed attorneys, rankings like Super Lawyers continue to influence the legal industry. In Illinois, several highly regarded attorneys have been selected for the 2025 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, reflecting broader trends in how legal professionals establish credibility and reputation.

Selected on an annual, state-by-state basis, Super Lawyers is a nationwide peer-reviewed rating system that evaluates attorneys based on professional achievement, case results, and peer recognition. It aims to create a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing for consumers seeking legal counsel. The Super Lawyers designation places attorneys within the top 5% of legal professionals in each state, while Rising Stars acknowledges the top 2.5% of younger attorneys practicing for 10 years or less.

While rankings like Super Lawyers are not an official measure of legal competency, they provide a consumer-friendly way for clients to assess attorneys based on peer endorsements and track records. Legal industry professionals emphasize that recognition can amplify factors like trust, experience, and credibility in a competitive legal marketplace.

Illinois law firms such as The Collins Law Firm [https://www.collinslaw.com/] have consistently been represented on the Super Lawyers list, demonstrating the importance of experience and results in legal rankings. Specializing in personal injury, environmental litigation, and commercial disputes, the firm is known for high-profile settlements in environmental, commercial, and personal injury cases nationwide.

Similarly, attorneys like John Risvold and Margaret Galka are recognized as Rising Stars and represent a new generation of legal professionals making their mark in complex litigation.

"We are honored that five attorneys at Collins Law have been recognized by Super Lawyers for 2025. We are relentless in fighting for justice for our clients-it's who we are. Our clients often come to us during the most difficult times in their lives and it is gratifying to have our hard work acknowledged," said Edward Manzke, senior partner at the firm.
