Five DBD Attorneys Named to the 2026 PA Super Lawyers and Rising Stars Lists

Each year, only five percent of attorneys in Pennsylvania are selected to the Super Lawyers list, while no more than 2.5 percent are named Rising Stars. Candidates are chosen through a rigorous, multiphase process that includes peer nominations, independent research, and professional evaluations. This recognition reflects the exceptional legal skill, professionalism, and dedication that DBD attorneys bring to their clients every day.
