In 2004, Thomson Reuters began recognizing exceptional attorneys for their professional achievement and peer recognition with its Super Lawyers awards. SUGARMAN lawyers have been honored each and every year. This ongoing recognition reflects the tireless advocacy of SUGARMAN’s attorneys on behalf of our personal injury clients throughout Massachusetts.
Each of SUGARMAN’s Principals has once again been selected to the 2025 Massachusetts Super Lawyers list:
- Neil Sugarman – Recognized every year since the inception of Super Lawyers in 2004.
- Marianne LeBlanc – Recognized every year since 2004, repeatedly recognized among both the Top 100 Massachusetts Lawyers and Top 50 Women Massachusetts Super Lawyers, and this year named to the Top 10 Massachusetts Lawyers list for the first time.
- Benjamin Zimmermann – Recognized every year since 2005, selected to the Top 100 Lawyers in Massachusetts every year since 2013, and now also honored among the Top 10 Massachusetts Lawyers for 2025.
- David McCormack – Recognized every year since 2008, first as a Rising Star from 2008-2012.
- Stacey Pietrowicz – Recognized every year since 2011, first as a Rising Star from 2011-2012.
SUGARMAN also congratulates Attorney Madeline Budroe on her first-time selection to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list, a distinction recognizing the profession’s top emerging attorneys. Attorney Budroe joined SUGARMAN as an Associate in 2023.
SUGARMAN is proud to celebrate the continued success, leadership, and dedication of its attorneys. Their achievements reflect not only exceptional legal skill, but also an unwavering commitment to securing justice for the injured and their families.
To determine lawyers for inclusion in Super Lawyers, a research team selects no more than 5 percent of the lawyers in Massachusetts and no more than 2.5 percent receive the honor of being a Rising Star. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys from more than seventy practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
