STEPHEN HOFER NAMED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA “SUPER LAWYER” FOR 2015

Stephen Hofer, President of the Aerlex Law Group has been named as 2015 Southern California Super Lawyers. This is the sixth consecutive year Hofer has received this honor. 

Super Lawyers is a survey of outstanding lawyers in more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year, no more than five per cent of the 90,000 lawyers who practice in the 11-county Southern California region are named as “Super Lawyers.” The 2015 list of top attorneys for the region was announced this week and the selections appear in the February issue of Los Angeles magazine. In addition, the choices will be publicized in Southern California Super Lawyers magazine, which will be included with the Sunday, February 8, 2015 edition of The New York Times. The Super Lawyers rating service and publications are produced by the Thomson Reuters Legal Division.

The selections for the respected Super Lawyers list of attorneys are made each year by the Super Lawyers attorney-led research team. The rigorous evaluation process includes independent research and scrutiny of the candidates by the magazine’s research staff, peer nominations by other attorneys, and a good-standing and disciplinary check.
