Blustein, Shapiro, Frank & Barone, LLP is proud to announce that four of the firm’s partners — Managing Partner Michael S. Blustein and partners Richard J. Shapiro, Gardiner “Tad” Barone, and William A. Frank — have been named to the 2022 Upstate New York Super Lawyers list.

Additionally, the firm’s youngest partner, Megan R. Conroy, was named to the 2022 Rising Stars list, which recognizes attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less.

The Super Lawyers list recognizes attorneys who have attained certain honors, results, or credentials, and who possess a high degree of professional competence within their respective fields. The selection process for both the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are made on an annual, state-by-state basis, with bar associations and courts nationwide acknowledging the legitimacy of the selections.

No more than five percent of attorneys in the state are named to a Super Lawyers list; the Rising Stars list is even more selective, with under three percent of New York attorneys earning the honor annually. 

“It is a special honor to be recognized by your peers, and it is one that I know we all hold in high regard,” said Managing Partner Michael S. Blustein, whose accomplishments in real estate law earned him a spot on the list for the third consecutive year. “We are proud to continue to show our clients that our firm’s attorneys are among the ‘best of the best’ in the region, and these recognitions are a testament to that.”

This is Shapiro’s ninth consecutive Super Lawyers recognition for his work in elder law and his second consecutive inclusion on the Top 25 Hudson Valley list, Barone’s eleventh consecutive honor for his accomplishments in business litigation, and Frank’s sixth consecutive acknowledgement for his success in state, local, and municipal law.
