When you're looking for a lawyer--especially for something as important as elder law or estate planning--it's always nice to know you have a local law firm with one of the state's rising stars at the helm right here in the Upper Peninsula.
Shelley White-Thomas of
The White-Thomas Law Firm has been named to the Michigan Super Lawyers Rising Stars lists as one of the top attorneys in Michigan for 2011. Not too shabby of an accomplishment, hey? Especially if you consider that each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected to receive this honor.
"I am very humbled that my legal colleagues in Michigan nominated me for this honor," says White-Thomas.
The selections for the list are made by a research team at
Super Lawyers, a service of the Thompson Reuters. Each year, the research team undertakes a multi-phase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluations of candidates by the attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area and a good standing and disciplinary check.
The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers magazines and in leading city and regional magazines across the country. Super Lawyers magazines also feature editorial profiles of attorneys who embody excellence in the practice of law.
White-Thomas focuses her practice in the areas of estate planning, probate and trust administration, elder law and veteran’s benefits.
