Andrew H. Friedman was selected as a "Super Lawyer" in the category of Labor and Employment Law. This was Mr. Friedman's third year in a row as a "Super Lawyer." Mr. Friedman literally wrote "the book" on employment discrimination law -- Litigating Employment Discrimination Cases (James Publishing, 2005-2007). The book, a two volume 1400 practice guide, is designed to provide the employment law practitioner with strategies, tactics and forms to successfully handle employment discrimination cases from case inception through trial. It can be purchased at www.jamespublishing.com. "We are obviously very pleased to be recognized by our peers as 'Super Lawyers'," said Mr. Friedman.

Gregory D. Helmer was also selected as a "Super Lawyer" in the category of Labor and Employment Law. This was Mr. Helmer's third time being selected as a "Super Lawyer." Among other accomplishments, Mr. Helmer has obtained a $1,643,000.00 arbitration award on behalf of an employee who had been discriminated against and harassed because of his age. The landmark arbitration award was, at the time, reputed to be one of the largest ever received by an individual in a discrimination case.
