To identify the 2006 Super Lawyers for Pennsylvania, Law & Politics Magazine surveyed more than 36,000 attorneys across the state regarding the best lawyers they encountered in their practices. The selection process included peer nominations, a blue ribbon panel review process and independent research on candidates.

WolfBlock's Pennsylvania Super Lawyers include: Daniel Clearfield; Mark A. Fontana; Robert B. Hoffman; Lynne Z. Gold-Bikin; Cheryl L. Young; Mark L. Alderman; Joseph C. Bright; Andrew A. Chirls; Colleen F. Coonelly; Leonard J. Cooper; Michael M. Dean; Alvin H. Dorsky; Jay A. Dubow; Herman C. Fala; Joseph S. Finkelstein; William G. Frey; Robert I.

Scoring for Super Lawyers is based on the numbers and types of votes received. Votes from lawyers in other firms are weighted higher than those from lawyers within the same firm. Law & Politics also avoids ""back-scratching"" votes by tracking who votes for whom. Ultimately, a panel consisting of the highest vote getters ranks the other nominees in their practice areas, and the results are published.
