Super Lawyers Recognizes SDB Attorneys as Rising Stars

The Portland personal injury law office of DuBois Law Group is proud to announce that for the second year in a row, both Mr. Joshua Shulman and Mr. Sean DuBois have been selected by the magazine Super Lawyers as “Rising Stars” for 2010. This is an honor that less than 2 percent of eligible Oregon attorneys receive. Both and Mr. DuBois received this honor in 2009 as well.

Considering that only four Oregon lawyers were chosen as “Rising Stars” by Super Lawyers in the “Personal Injury – Plaintiff” category, DuBois Law Group is honored that two of those attorneys are at its firm. Last year, in 2009, only five attorneys were selected in Oregon under this category.

DuBois Law Group is pleased that 100% of the attorneys at its firm were included as “Rising Starts” for 2010.
