McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP Attorneys Selected as 2021 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars
White Plains Law Firm attorneys receive prestigious designation
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (September 30, 2021) – McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP (MGS) Managing Partner Seth M. Mandelbaum has been as selected for the 2021 New York Metro Super Lawyers®, recognizing him as one of the top attorneys in Land Use and Zoning.
Two of the firm’s other attorneys, Partner Steven M. Wrabel and Senior Associate Amanda L. Brosy, were selected as New York Metro Super Lawyers® Rising Stars, also for their work in Land Use and Zoning.
“I am extremely honored to have been selected to the 2021 New York Metro Super Lawyers list!” said Mandelbaum. “It is particularly humbling since nominations and selections are peered-based. This honor is really a reflection on the work of all of the excellent attorneys and staff at MGS. Congratulations to Steve and Amanda for their well-deserved selections as Rising Stars!”
Super Lawyers®, a Thomson Reuters subsidiary, develops both the Super Lawyers® guide and the Rising Stars guide each year. The purpose of these guides is to help individuals in need of legal guidance connect with vetted attorneys. As such, the selection process is rigorous, involving a 12-category independent review by Super Lawyers® and a Blue-Ribbon Review by a panel of top-rated attorneys. The only differences between the guides are:
Super Lawyers® lists mid- to late-career attorneys, while Rising Stars lists early career attorneys either in their first decade of practice or no older than 40 years of age; and
No more than 5 percent of all practicing attorneys are selected to Super Lawyers®, while Rising Stars lists no more than 2.5 percent of all practicing attorneys.
The selection to either list denotes that an attorney is highly regarded by their peers and highly accomplished in their area of legal practice.
Mandelbaum, Wrabel and Brosy have each contributed to the success of MGS, which has a proven track record in obtaining favorable results for their diverse range of clients.
