Elizabeth Fenton Named PA Super Lawyer

The law firm of Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry is pleased to announce that attorneys Stewart M. Weintraub and Elizabeth S. Fenton have been named 2014 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers by Thomson Reuters. It is the 11th year that Weintraub, who chairs the firm’s state and local tax practice group, has been named a Super Lawyer, an honor achieved by only the top 5 percent Pennsylvania’s 50,000 lawyers.

“After his ten previous appearances on the Super Lawyers list, one might expect that we've become used to Stewart setting such a high bar,” said Managing Shareholder Wayne A. Risoli. “Now we congratulate Beth on her Super Lawyer rating. Our experienced and talented attorneys are part of what makes coming to work at Chamberlain Hrdlicka every day so extraordinary. It never becomes routine.”
