NEWS & INSIGHTS

The Lynch Law Group is proud to announce that nine of its attorneys have been recognized on the 2026 Thomson Reuters Pennsylvania Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars lists — a testament to The Firm’s depth of talent and enduring commitment to legal excellence across Western Pennsylvania.

Super Lawyers® is widely regarded as one of the legal profession’s most rigorous peer-recognition programs, evaluating attorneys across more than 70 practice areas through a multi-step process that includes peer nominations, independent research, and thorough practice area assessments. Only a select percentage of attorneys in each state earn a place on the list each year.

“Our attorneys work tirelessly to deliver results for their clients, and recognition like this reflects that dedication,” said Daniel P. Lynch, Managing Partner. “I’m incredibly proud of each person on this list, not just for the honor itself, but for what it represents about the culture and caliber of this Firm.”
