Super Lawyers Honors Five Attorneys from Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group

Super Lawyers, a respected attorney-ranking organization that recognizes top lawyers across the country, has bestowed honors on five attorneys from the North Carolina law firm of Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A. Attorneys Michael A. Kornbluth, Kevin B. Ginsberg, and Jesse S. Shapiro were recognized as Super Lawyers again for 2026, while Joseph Hjelt and Andrew W. Legg received recognition as Rising Stars for 2026. This distinction matters because Super Lawyers honors are awarded to only 5 percent of attorneys nationwide, and Rising Stars recognition is given to just 2.5 percent, according to the Super Lawyers website.

The recognition underscores the firm's established reputation and emerging talent in key legal practice areas. Michael A. Kornbluth was notably listed in the Top 100: North Carolina Super Lawyers and the Top 25: Raleigh Super Lawyers. This year marks Kornbluth's 13th year as a Super Lawyer, with three prior years as a Rising Star, demonstrating sustained excellence. He was selected in multiple practice areas including Employment Litigation: Plaintiff, Employment & Labor: Employer, Civil Rights, Personal Injury - General: Plaintiff, and Workers' Compensation: Claimant.

Kevin B. Ginsberg earned his third consecutive Super Lawyers recognition in Personal Injury - General: Plaintiff and Workers' Compensation: Claimant. Jesse S. Shapiro received his first Super Lawyers honor in Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury, having previously been a Rising Star from 2011 to 2013. For the Rising Stars, Joseph Hjelt was honored in Employment & Labor, marking his recognition since 2021, and Andrew W. Legg was recognized in Employment Litigation and Employment & Labor, first named in 2024.

The implications of this announcement are significant for clients and the legal community, as it validates the firm's expertise and provides a reliable resource for those seeking legal counsel. Super Lawyers uses a patented selection process created and led by legal professionals. As detailed on the organization's website, each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, aiming to create a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys. This objective process enhances the award's credibility and helps consumers make informed decisions when selecting legal representation.

This recognition highlights the firm's strength in specialized areas such as employment law, personal injury, and workers' compensation, which are critical for individuals and businesses navigating complex legal challenges. The combination of experienced Super Lawyers and promising Rising Stars suggests a robust pipeline of talent, ensuring continued high-quality service. For the legal market in North Carolina, such accolades can influence client trust and competitive positioning, as awards from reputable organizations like Super Lawyers serve as benchmarks of professional achievement and peer respect.
