Balch & Bingham Lawyers Named 2012 Mid-South Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Balch & Bingham is pleased to announce that eight attorneys from the firm’s offices in Gulfport and Jackson, Miss. have been honored by Super Lawyers magazine as 2012 Mid-South Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.

The lawyer-rating directory is one of the most-highly regarded in the nation since no more than five percent of all attorneys can be named Super Lawyers in any one state or region, and only up to 2.5 percent of attorneys in any one state or region can be listed as Rising Stars each year. Rising Stars recognizes the top up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or have been practicing for 10 years or less. Super Lawyers is based on a ranking system owned and managed by Thomson Reuters, one of the world’s leading sources of business news and data.

“We are extremely proud of our attorneys and their achievements,” said Balch & Bingham Managing Partner Alan T. Rogers. “Their recognition is a testament to their dedication of delivering an uncommon client experience that meets the highest standards of legal service.”
