Super Lawyers

Super Lawyers

All three partners of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, Priscilla Camp, Srinoi G. Rousseau and Katherine A. Montgomery have been honored by designation as Northern California Super Lawyers.  Priscilla Camp, the Senior Partner, has received this recognition for the past three years.

Super Lawyers are chosen by polling and peer evaluation, including 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement.  Five percent of California lawyers are so chosen each year.  The objective of the Super Lawyer process is to create a list that is useful to consumers of legal services.
