Eight Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC Attorneys Named to the 2020 Michigan Super Lawyers and Rising Star Lists

Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC is pleased to announce that eight of its lawyers have been named to the 2020 Michigan Super Lawyers and Michigan Rising Stars lists. The annually published list is intended to be a resource to help in the selection of outstanding lawyers, identifying those with practice area expertise. No more than the top 5 percent of Michigan attorneys are recognized as Super Lawyers and only 2.5 percent are named Rising Stars.

Super Lawyers uses the same selection process for both designations, with one exception: to be eligible for Rising Stars, the candidate must be either 40 years old or younger, or in practice 10 years or less. These designations are granted to attorneys who demonstrate the highest levels of legal ability and integrity as determined by their peers and an independent, multiphase research process conducted by Super Lawyers. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys.

The following lawyers from Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC were recognized by Super Lawyers in their areas of expertise:

  • Mark J. Burzych, Franchise/Dealership Law
  • William K. Fahey, State, Local & Municipal Law
  • John A. Forrest, Franchise/Dealership Law
