Super Lawyers again selected Tripp Watson for the second consecutive year as a "Rising Star" in the Mid-South. The recognition is only awarded to up to 2.5% of the attorneys in the region covering Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi.

Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a patented multiphase selection process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with independent research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Super Lawyers' objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel.
