Super Lawyers is an annual listing of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.  Super Lawyers comprise 5% of licensed, active attorneys in the State of Missouri.  Mr. Taylor was selected through a process that takes approximately nine months of peer review by other lawyers.  The survey is sent to all lawyers in the state who have been in practice at least five years.  In addition, Law and Politics researches the credentials of all nominees, assembles a blue ribbon review panel of leading attorneys in the practice area, then directly contacts lawyers and firm representatives, verifies data and conducts a good standing review of each candidate.  Super Lawyers are assessed on a much broader range of factors then other "top" lawyer lists.  Factors such as experience and primary practice, the number of cases handled, representative clients, major transactions and verdicts are among the areas of research to determine Super Lawyers.
