Porter Wright is proud to announce those attorneys at the firm who have been selected for inclusion on the 2023 Ohio Super Lawyers list and its Rising Stars list.

Several attorneys in the firm received the highest scores during the publication’s rigorous selection process and were named to Top Lists in their metropolitan area. Partners Carolyn Taggart, Tracey Turnbull, James Curphey and Tami Kirby each were named to a Top List in Ohio.

Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in each state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in each state are selected to receive the Rising Stars honor. Both annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.
