Buffalo, NY personal injury lawyer James Morris has been named to the 2015 Upstate New York Super Lawyers Top 50 list, a recognition limited only to a select few legal professionals in the state.

While he has been recognized by Super Lawyers each year since 2007, this marks the first year Morris has been named to the exclusive Top 50 list. He joins the Top 50 as one of the few plaintiffs’ personal injury lawyers to receive extremely high point totals during the nomination, research and peer review process. The attorneys in Upstate New York who receive the highest point totals during the Super Lawyers process are further recognized in the Top 50 list.

Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to be named to its list.

An attorney in Western New York for more than 25 years, Morris devotes his practice exclusive to personal injury and wrongful death litigation. He handles injury and wrongful death claims involving motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, injuries to children and more.
