Seem to be pure promotional. Notability unsure. -WarthogDemon 01:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete according to www.superlawyers.com they bestow the title "Superlawyers" to the top 5% of lawyers, seems impressive until you consider that California alone has 211,894 lawyers, would leave one with approxiately 10,000+ "Superlawyers" in that state. I could find no similar figures for Washington, but suffice to say that we probably don't need articles for all (perhaps 100,000) Superlawyers. As for "AV" rating from Martindale-Hubble, those run to the tens if not hundreds of thousands as well. And finally, top 40 in something in the state might constitute notability (weakly). But all of these wonderful things are awards given to Mr. Myers, not his firm, does a firm inherit notability from all of its employees? Another member of the firm was named as a "Rising Star" for several years from the same Superlawyers bestower, without needing to answer the question of how many years of being a rising star does one need to have actually risen, although they are limited to those age <40 or with <10 years of lawyering experience, there is no indication that "Rising Star" is above the rank of Superlawyer and therefore not some runners-up category to the top 5%.

 * Delete per nom. This is PR spam. Both "rising star" and "superlawyer" designations are vanity listings, much like "Who's who", i.e., pay a fee and get listed for all to see. Aaak. --Evb-wiki 15:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete but I think the reality of the profession is that a law firm does acquire notability from its principal members. In this case, I think neither he nor it are notable enough. DGG (talk) 01:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
