Miller, Alfano & Raspanti

Maria L.H. Lewis, Daniel J. McGravey, Michael A. Morse and Kevin E. Raphael Selected as Super Lawyers Rising Stars for 2006
In the 2006 Super Lawyers Rising Stars listing, Maria L.H. Lewis was selected in the area of Employment Litigation. Daniel J. McGravey, Michael A. Morse and Kevin E. Raphael were selected in the area of White Collar Criminal Defense.

The attorneys who receive the honor of Super Lawyers Rising Stars are chosen through Law & Politics Magazine's rigorous, multi-step selection process which evaluates quality objectively and then verifies the data collected. The first step in this process is the creation of a candidate pool: ballots are mailed to all Pennsylvania lawyers, who then in turn nominate the best up-and-coming lawyers that they have observed in action as candidates. Step two of this process is the evaluation of the nominated candidates, for which the Law & Politics research department evaluates the background and experience of the candidates by examining various criteria. Finally, only 2.5% of the total lawyers in Pennsylvania are selected to be listed as Rising Stars.
