He has been selected a Florida Super Lawyer (a Thomson Reuters publication) by his colleagues in both 2013 and 2014. The “Super Lawyers” publication is a consumer ratings service of preeminent lawyers from numerous areas of practice published annually in Law & Politics magazine. Super Lawyers is a listing of the top five percent of attorneys who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process is multi-phased and includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations.
Mr. Dolman has also been selected by National Trial Lawyers as a top 100 trial lawyer in both 2013 and 2014 and was selected as one of the top 40 trial attorneys under the age of 40 in 2013 by the very same organization.
