Partner Michael S. Savett and associate Shawn C. Gooden have been selected as Pennsylvania "Rising Stars" for 2007 by the publishers of Philadelphia magazine and Law & Politics magazine.  The attorneys have been honored for their accomplishments, along with other selectees, in the December 2007 issue of Philadelphia magazine and the Pennsylvania edition of Super Lawyers Rising Stars, which is published by Law & Politics magazine. 

The selection process began with nominations by Pennsylvania Super Lawyers and was followed by data verification and independent research into the qualifications of each nominee.  The list of “Rising Stars” includes the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in private practice, prosecutors, in-house counsel and public service lawyers who are 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.  Mr. Savett was named in the Insurance Coverage practice area, and Mr. Gooden was named in the Workers' Compensation practice area.  This is the third consecutive year in which the attorneys have been honored.
