M. Allan Hyman
The following two attorneys in the area have been named to the 2018 New York Metro Super Lawyers list, as well as one to the 2018 Rising New York Metro Stars list.
The honor recognizes top lawyers in their respective areas of practice.
Due to the highly rigorous nature of the nomination and review process, only five percent of lawyers in the New York metro area are named to the list.
Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a research-driven peer influenced rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
The annual selections are made based upon peer nominations, independent research by Super Lawyers, and evaluations from a highly credentialed panel of attorneys, and include:
M. Allan Hyman (Sands Point), a senior partner who practices in litigation, real estate tax certiorari, and condemnation law departments.
He has successfully obtained millions of dollars of tax refunds and savings for clients during his 50 year professional career.
Additionally, his practice focuses on representing both claimants and condemnors in eminent domain proceedings throughout the State of New York and other jurisdictions.
A graduate of Syracuse University, Hyman also holds a Juris Doctorate from St. John’s University Law School.
Thomas McNamara
Thomas McNamara’s (Port Washington) practice encompasses a broad range of commercial litigation and arbitration, including issues related to banking, creditors’ rights, contracts, business divorce, real estate, employment, trade secrets, trust and estates, and insurance, as well as corporate, securities, shareholder, partnership, and antitrust matters.
He graduated with honors from the University of Chicago, where he majored in economics, and earned his law degree from New York University School of Law in 1980.
The selection process for the Rising Stars list is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process, with one exception: to be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.
All attorneys first go through the Super Lawyers selection process. Those who are not selected to the Super Lawyers list, but who meet either one of the Rising Stars eligibility requirements, go through the Rising Stars selection process.
While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
