Amy Rosenberger ‘85 was among 16 attorneys at the law firm Willig, Williams & Davidson to be listed among the 2020 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers and Rising Stars. Rosenberger, who works from the Philadelphia office, has been honored before by the list.
The firm’s attorneys were recognized for their expertise in the practice areas of labor and employment, workers’ compensation, and employee benefits.
Rosenberger was profiled in the spring/summer 2019 issue of Crossroads alumni magazine. Her mother predicted a career in law when her eight-year-old daughter was making the argument for spending time with a friend. Years later, after spending time in EMU’s Washington D.C. program, now the Washington Community Scholars’ Center, and working as a legal secretary and in legal administration, Rosenberger went to law school and never looked back.
As an eight-year-old, she had had “no idea” what her mother had been talking about – “but I certainly do now,” she said. “It is still thrilling to be able to help right a wrong for an individual employee, or to help ensure fair treatment for a group of workers.”
A program of Thomson Reuters, Pennsylvania Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers who, through a peer review and independent research process, have been identified as attaining a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Only the top 5 percent of Pennsylvania’s 50,000 lawyers and the top 2.5 percent of up-and-coming Pennsylvania lawyers are named to the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists.
Candidates are evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including verdicts and settlements; honors and awards; special licenses and certifications; pro bono and community service efforts; and scholarly lectures and writings. The ultimate objective of Super Lawyers is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse list of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for other practitioners and consumers searching for legal counsel.
