Atlanta Magazine “Super Lawyers” Recognitions

• Partners Jon Hedgepeth, Hannibal Heredia and Jessica Reece Fagan are included in the magazine’s “Super Lawyers” 2021 list. “Super Lawyers” designates the top five percent of attorneys in each state. 

• This is the third time for Hedgepeth and the fifth time for Heredia on the “Top 100” list, an elite group of 100 lawyers (less than a half percent) chosen from Georgia’s 32,000 plus attorneys. 

• Senior Associate Paul Simon is named to the “Rising Stars” list for the fourth year. “Rising Stars” recognizes the top 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state. 

Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a state-wide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. 

The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. The listing appears in the March issue of Atlanta magazine.
