SAN DIEGO – Klinedinst is pleased to announce that eight shareholders have been named to the 2014 Southern California Super Lawyers® list, making it the largest Super Lawyers class in the firm’s history.

The eight individuals featured in Southern California Super Lawyers include (in alphabetical order):

“This is a tremendous honor for the firm and our eight award recipients,” noted Natalie Vance, Managing Shareholder of the firm’s Sacramento office, and a past honoree in Northern California Super Lawyers. “This recognition demonstrates the exceptional talent in our firm, the diversity of legal experience, and the high regard for these attorneys in the legal community.”

Super Lawyers® is an annual publication that recognizes outstanding attorneys who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. According to Super Lawyers, less than 5% of attorneys in the state are ever featured in the magazine.

Lawyers from Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego were asked to nominate fellow attorneys who embody excellence in the legal profession. Attorneys nominated then go through a patented, multiphase selection process which consists of a rigorous evaluation and research phase, and vetting before an attorney-led review committee before being announced. Klinedinst congratulates all eight attorneys on this special recognition.
