McDonald Carano is proud to announce that 11 of our attorneys are recognized as “Super Lawyers” and seven are recognized as “Rising Stars” in the 2023 edition of Mountain States Super Lawyers magazine. The list of top attorneys “recognizes attorneys who have distinguished themselves in their legal practice based on a selection process that includes nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations.” 

Mountain States Super Lawyers covers Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. No more than 5 percent of attorneys in the five-state region are included as Super Lawyers and no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
