(New Britain, PA) – Two attorneys from Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams LLP have been selected to the 2015 Pennsylvania & Delaware edition of “Super Lawyers.”

Ellis H. Katz, managing partner of the firm, is one of the attorneys on the list, and has been listed annually as a Super Lawyer since 2009. Attorney Thomas C. Warner was selected as a “Rising Star” for 2015.

Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. The Rising Stars list is developed using the same patented multiphase selection process except candidates must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. While up to 5 percent of the lawyers in a state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to Rising Stars.

Super Lawyers Magazine is published in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and England, reaching more than 13 million readers.

Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams, LLP was formed in 1995 by nine experienced education lawyers who created the first private law practice in Pennsylvania dedicated entirely to Education Law.  Since then, the firm has grown to 16 attorneys who represent over 290 school and municipal entities as Solicitors or as Special Counsel in more than 50 counties throughout Pennsylvania.
