SIX BARG COFFIN ATTORNEYS HONORED BY SUPER LAWYERS


SAN FRANCISCO, July 8, 2016 – Super Lawyers has named five Barg Coffin Lewis & Trapp, LLP partners to its 2016 “Northern California Super Lawyers” list, and one associate to its 2016 “Northern California Rising Stars” list.

Only five percent of eligible lawyers in Northern California receive the Super Lawyer distinction. Selections are made following an extensive annual statewide survey of lawyers, along with independent evaluation of candidates based on professional achievement and peer reviews by practice area.

The following Barg Coffin partners have been selected as 2016 Super Lawyers:

• John F. Barg, Partner – Environmental
• Richard C. Coffin, Partner – Environmental Litigation
• R. Morgan Gilhuly, Partner – Environmental Litigation
• Brian S. Haughton, Partner – Environmental
• Stephen C. Lewis, Partner – Environmental Litigation

Barg, Coffin, and Gilhuly have been named to the “Northern California Super Lawyers” list in Environmental Law and/or Environmental Litigation every year since its inception in 2004.

Additionally, attorney David Metres was named to the “Northern California Rising Stars” list for Environmental Law for the second year in a row. This list recognizes the top 2.5 percent of Northern California attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or who have been practicing law for 10 years or less.

“We’re honored that our attorneys have been consistently recognized for their outstanding work,” said R. Morgan Gilhuly, managing partner of Barg Coffin Lewis & Trapp. “We work hard to earn and maintain our clients’ trust, and to provide the expertise needed to help them navigate the complex challenges of environmental law.”
 
Published annually by Thomson Reuters, both Super Lawyer lists will be featured in Northern California Super Lawyers Magazine and the August issue of San Francisco magazine.
