Richard L. Bazelon, Jeffrey A. Less and A. Richard Feldman, named partners in the Philadelphia commercial litigation firm Bazelon, Less & Feldman, along with shareholder Paul B. Bech, were designated Super Lawyers in an independent survey of their peers. Administered by the publisher of Law & Politics magazine, the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers 2006 survey recognizes the top five percent of attorneys in each participating state.

Voted on by attorneys who have been in practice for five or more years, Super Lawyers have achieved a high degree of professional accomplishments and are recognized by their peers. The list of outstanding attorneys is comprehensive and diverse, representing a wide range of practice areas, firm sizes and geographic locations.

"We are gratified to be named once again to this distinguished list of legal professionals," said Less, who along with Bazelon founded the firm in 1983. Feldman joined the firm in 1984 as its first associate. "In a highly competitive profession such as law, we are honored to be recognized by the peers we meet in and out of the courtroom," said Feldman. Bech has been with the firm since 1993.

Bazelon was further honored by being named as a Top 100 Super Lawyer in Philadelphia. According to the publisher of the list, this indicates that he is among the 100 who received the most votes out of all of the Super Lawyers in the city. "This is indeed an honor," said Bazelon. "I appreciate the support of my colleagues."
