Joe Tacopina is a preeminent criminal

defense, civil, and securities litigation

attorney with over 20 years of legal

experience. Tacopina's expertise has

earned him recognition as a Super

Lawyer in the New York Edition.

While a number of awards recognize legal achievement, the public still needs a designation that sets quality attorneys apart from their peers. Covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Super Lawyers recognizes the finest attorneys in over 70 areas of practice, making it a useful tool for finding the best lawyers available. The Super Lawyers selection process, which received patent recognition in 2013, involves multiple phases, including peer nominations and evaluation of professional achievement. Each state has its own list of Super Lawyers. Fewer than 5% of attorneys earn recognition.

Those selected are listed in their state’s

Super Lawyers Magazine. In 2013, the

designation will go international with the

first selections in London, England.
