We're thrilled to announce that our founding partner, Maria Zalessky, has again been named to the Colorado Super Lawyers Rising Star list! Maria was also named to the list in 2025, making this the second consecutive nomination by her peers for the Super Lawyers recognition. No more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in Colorado are selected by Super Lawyers, a Thompson Reuters owned service rating outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys. The Rising Star List is designated for lawyers under the age of 40 or in the first ten years of their practice.
