KNR Attorneys Named 2021 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Kisling, Nestico & Redick, LLC is proud to announce that four attorneys have been selected as 2021 Super Lawyers or Rising Stars by Super Lawyers Magazine. 

Only 5% of lawyers in each state are named Super Lawyers. To be selected for this honor, Super Lawyers Magazine uses a patented multiphase selection process that begins with nominations and peer reviews and goes through extensive independent research. Each nominee is evaluated on 12 factors related to their professional achievements and peer recognition. The result is a list of the top lawyers in the state who practice at small, medium, and large law firms and offer consumers excellent legal representation in myriad practice areas.

In 2021, three of our attorneys have been named Super Lawyers:

In addition to the Super Lawyers distinction, Managing Partner John Reagan was also selected for Top 100 Ohio and Top 50 Cleveland Super Lawyers lists. To be included on the top lists, candidates are awarded a point value at each stage of the Super Lawyers selection process. Those with the highest points are recognized on the Super Lawyer top lists.
