Our Rising Star

So it's not often that I sneak a blog in but I thought it was necessary for me to get the word out about our little Nikki Jean and an honor that has been bestowed upon her this week (and that she was just going to let go unannounced!!).  So on Wednesday, it was announced that she is one of nine Attorneys from her Boston Firm (Bingham McCutchen) listed to "Massachusetts Super Lawyers" Rising Stars list in 2009.  So what is this, you might ask?  "Super Lawyers" is a national publication for the legal profession that conducts a yearly rigorous evaluation process involving peer recognition and achievement in the legal field to select their Rising Stars (....I was curious and decided to look it up......it's a no joke process for sure).  The selection process is entirely independent and candidates are developed through peer nominations and/or research conducted by the publication staff.  Another notable is that no more than 2.5% of all attorneys in Massachusetts are named to the list!

I think that this is a recognition that is well deserved and leaves me awestruck considering that she is earning it while living 3000 miles away, working part time and playing Super Mom to our two little munchkins (and juggling numerous other projects).  I am very proud of her and thought that anyone reading our blog may want to know about this as well.  I've attached a link below to the actual announcement if anyone is interested in finding out more.
