Armstrong Teasdale Lawyers Named As Missouri/Kansas Super Lawyers/Rising Stars

ST. LOUIS (October 27, 2011) - Sixty-six Armstrong Teasdale attorneys were listed as a 2011 Missouri/Kansas Super Lawyer or Rising Star. Super Lawyers is an annual listing of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selection for Super Lawyers includes peer nominations, a blue ribbon panel review process and independent research on candidates. Rising Stars is a list of the state’s top young attorneys. Selection for Rising Stars is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process except that candidates must be 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less and do not go through the peer evaluation by practice area process.

Among those named to the list, were four Armstrong Teasdale partners who were singled out as “Top 100 Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers” based on the highest point totals in the selection process. They are: Robert Kaiser, Daniel O’Toole, Edward Spalty and Thomas Weaver.
