THE
ANNUAL LIST OF TOP ATTORNEYS
SELECTION PROCESS
Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a patented multiphase selection process.*
The 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. We limit the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.
The Super Lawyers selection process involves the steps outlined in the graphic (at right).

ACCIANI & LEVY
Dedicated, Effective Advocates for Clients’ Rights
For over 30 years O’Connor, Acciani & Levy has dedicated their law practice to representing individuals against big business and insurance companies alike. Justice for individuals comes in many forms, and we work tenaciously to defend our clients in and out of the courtroom. Our attorneys and paralegals take an individualistic approach to every case to obtain the most favorable results for our clients, whether that means negotiating settlements or taking a case to trial.
Our attorneys focus their practice in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, trucking accidents, defective products, dangerous drugs, pharmaceutical negligence, Social Security disability and workers’ compensation. We represent the people, not insurance companies or large corporations. And we take that responsibility very seriously.
While the majority of our practice is in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, with a wide network of affiliated counsel throughout the country, our firm has successfully handled cases from Florida to California. We are passionate about providing fearless advocacy to obtain a successful outcome for every client.
