Baltimore, September 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Super Lawyers Magazine has named Stephen B. Lebau and Richard Neuworth, co-founders of Lebau & Neuworth, LLC, as two of Maryland’s best lawyers in the fields of employment law and employee benefits. Importantly, Attorneys Neuworth and Lebau only represent individuals, not companies or unions.This Maryland-based firm has more than 60 years of experience in championing the legal rights for workers and disabled individuals. They are consistently ranked among Maryland’s best attorneys. “When we litigate, we explore all avenues on behalf of our clients and we fight for as long as it takes to obtain justice,” says Richard Neuworth. Attorney Lebau notes that the firm represents senior executives to low-wage workers, often in significant and complex employment litigation. He states that “just this year alone we have litigated two class actions and several large overtime cases on behalf of hundreds of employees and obtained six-figure monetary results.” To achieve “Super Lawyer” status, one must pass rigorous selection criteria. This process combines peer nominations, evaluations, and third-party research. Candidates are then screened through 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including verdicts and settlements, transactions, representative clients, experience, honors and awards, special licenses and certifications, position within law firm, bar and or other professional activity, pro bono and community service as a lawyer, and scholarly lectures and writings to name a few. The “Super Lawyer” designation does not come lightly; courts and bar associations across the country hold it in high regard. “[The Super Lawyersselection process] is a comprehensive, good-faith and detailed attempt to produce a list of lawyers that have attained high peer recognition, meet ethical standards, and have demonstrated some degree of achievement in their field," writes a Special Master assigned to the New Jersey Supreme Court in July, 2008. Fewer than five percent of any lawyers in the state can make it on to the Super Lawyers list. The list is published annually in state and regional editions of Super Lawyers Magazine.
