Attorney Deborah Nelson has been named a Washington Super Lawyer for the ninth consecutive year.
Only 5 percent of the lawyers in the state receive this honor each year.
Selections are made by the research team at Super Lawyers, a service of the Thomson Reuters Legal Division.
The selection process includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluation of candidates by the attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area and a good-standing and disciplinary check.
Nelson practices law in the areas of personal injury, insurance coverage and business disputes in Clallam and Jefferson counties and in Seattle.
In 2003, Nelson was the first lawyer on the North Olympic Peninsula to be named a Super Lawyer.
She is a past president of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association (now the Washington State Association for Justice) and a past president of the Council of Presidents of the American Association for Justice.
She received the Distinguished Service Award from the Clallam Pro Bono Lawyers and was twice selected as “Best Attorney in Clallam County” by a Peninsula Daily News readers’ survey.
She is a frequent speaker and author on insurance coverage.
