Goodwin Weber PLLC is proud to announce that attorneys Julie Goodwin Weber and Dr. David P. Weber have each been named Super Lawyers for 2024 by Thompson Reuters. 

Only five percent (5%) of lawyers in a state are selected to Superlawyers.  Yet, on the Eastern Shore, Super Lawyer membership is far more exclusive:  Julie and David are the sole attorneys named as Super Lawyers on all of the Eastern Shore of Virginia (Accomack and Northampton Counties), and for Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset and Worcester Counties on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, for their primary practice areas. 

Attorneys are selected by Super Lawyers by:

“using a patented multiphase selection process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with independent research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis. The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, we limit the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public.”
