The November 2008, Rhode Island Monthly includes a listing of Rhode Island's 'super lawyers,' designated as such by the national publication, Law and Politics. Tim Conlon has been named by Super Lawyers (http://www.superlawyers.com/) magazine as one of the top attorneys in Rhode Island for 2008. Only five percent of the lawyers in the state are named by Super Lawyers. The selections for Super Lawyers are made by Law & Politics, a division of Key Professional Media, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minn. Each year, Law & Politics undertakes a rigorous multi-phase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluation of candidates by Law & Politics’ attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area, and a good-standing and disciplinary check.

As described by the organization that compiles the listing:

"The objective of the Super Lawyers selection process is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource to assist attorneys and consumers in the search for legal counsel."

An independent assessment of the Super Lawyers selection process states:

"The broad range of sources used to obtain a large and representative nominee pool, the comprehensive data search on each candidate, the protocols used to evaluate nominees, the expert panel system, and the meticulous checks and balances built into the process … leave little to chance or idiosyncratic influence."

Tim Conlon is listed as one of 4 of the Rhode Island attorneys selected practicing Family Law.
