Tim Clinton Selected for 2020 Washington, DC Super Lawyers
Washington DC SuperLawyers Magazine has selected founding partner Tim Clinton to its list of "Super Lawyers" for 2020. Mr. Clinton (pictured here with his wife Desiree and their three children) was first selected to this list in 2016 and has remained on the list for five years running. Before that, he and partner Matt Peed were selected for inclusion in the list of "Rising Stars" for 2014 and 2015; partner Greg Lipper was selected for inclusion in the “Rising Stars” list in 2013; and partner Alec Rosenberg was selected for inclusion in the “SuperLawyers” lists of 2014 and 2015.
According to SuperLawyers, Tim’s selection for inclusion in the publication was the culmination of a “patented multiphase selection process” that combines “peer nominations and evaluations [with] third party research” based on “12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement”:
This selection is the result of ‘peer nominations and evaluations [with] third party research’ based on ’12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement.'
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. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, 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 patented selection process involves three basic steps: creation of the candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by the research department; and peer evaluation by practice area. The selection process for the Rising Stars list is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process, with one exception: to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.
“My general philosophy is to take cases that have some important moral, philosophical, or legal component that I believe will benefit society, and then to advocate for our clients with consistent integrity, hard work, and dedication to excellence,” says Tim. “As for the quality of our work, almost nothing I do happens without extensive collaboration with my colleagues, whose various skills far exceed my own.”
Tim is the managing partner of Clinton & Peed, a firm he founded in February 2008, and his practice spans a broad range of litigation and trial matters, including business and contract disputes, torts and personal injury, insurance coverage, employment, real property disputes, civil rights, and criminal defense. Although his is primarily known as a personal injury lawyer, wrongful death lawyer, medical malpractice lawyer, and general trial lawyer, he also advises individuals and small business on a wide array of issues, including local regulatory compliance, business structuring and transactions, and employment / contract negotiation.
