Viola Law Firm is proud to announce that attorneys Lawrence S. Viola, Robert J. Bruening, Farimah F. Erlandson, and Lauren D. Cirlin have been selected to the 2024 Northern California Super Lawyers list. Kayleigh R. Walsh and Joanna M. Wald have also been selected to the 2024 Northern California Rising Stars list.
Each year, no more than 5% of the lawyers in the state are to be selected as Super Lawyers, and no more than 2.5% are selected as Rising Stars. This makes these attorneys’ history on the list particularly impactful. Each of the selected attorneys has been named a Super Lawyer or Rising Star in previous years, except for Farimah, who is recognized for the first time.
- Lawrence S. Viola has been selected as a Super Lawyer every year since 2009 for a total of 16 years.
- Robert J. Bruening has been selected as a Super Lawyer since 2015, for 10 years total.
- Farimah F. Erlandson has been selected as a Super Lawyer for 2024. This is her first year recognized on the list.
- Lauren D. Cirlin was selected as a Rising Star from 2013 to 2017 and has been selected as a Super Lawyer every year since 2019, for 11 years total.
- Kayleigh R. Walsh has been selected to the Rising Stars list annually since 2018, for seven years total.
- Joanna M. Wald has been selected to the Rising Stars list every year since 2019, for six years total.
These honors demonstrate our attorneys’ dedication to providing top-quality representation to clients in California. Being recognized as a Super Lawyer demonstrates an attorney’s ongoing track record of success and commitment to the field. Meanwhile, being selected as a Rising Star acknowledges the skills and abilities of successful attorneys who have been in practice 10 years or fewer or are 40 years old or younger.
