Each year, on a state-by-state basis, Super Lawyers selects attorneys using peer nominations and evaluations along with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, and those selected represent the top five percent of the total lawyers in each state.

In 2018, six OBR partners were selected to PA Super Lawyers & one associate was selected to the Rising Stars list.
