Foley & Mansfield Attorneys Named to 2015 Michigan Super Lawyers® and Rising Star® Lists

September 8, 2015Recognition

Foley & Mansfield is pleased to announce that three attorneys in the firm’s Detroit office have been named to the 2015 Michigan Super Lawyers® and Rising Star® Lists.

Recognized on the Super Lawyers® list are partners Gary D. Sharp for Personal Injury Defense and Melinda A. Balian for Employment and Labor Law. Named to the Rising Star® list for Employment & Labor is partner Scott S. Holmes.

Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a rigorous multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. Rising Stars follows a similar process to recognize up-and-coming attorneys who are age 40 or younger, or who have been in practice for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in a state receive this recognition.
