Founding member of Tanoury Nauts McKinney and Garbarino, PLLC, in Detroit, Cullen McKinney Michigan, received his law degree from the University of Detroit Law School in 1993. Over the course of his career as a litigation attorney, Cullen McKinney has achieved a number of accolades and honors, including Super Lawyers Rising Star status in 2008. To qualify for Super Lawyers Rising Star status, individuals must meet a number of criteria. To begin, lawyers must be 40 years of age or younger, or have been in practice for 10 years or less. Eligible professionals begin the Super Lawyers process following a formal nomination from a peer or by the organization’s research staff. Individuals may also come to the organization’s attention through informal nominations, such as those made by Super Lawyers readers or satisfied clients. Accepted nominations are thoroughly vetted by the Super Lawyers research staff. Common areas of analysis include the outcome of verdicts and settlements, honors and awards received, the lawyer’s status within their firm, and total number of publications, though these areas represent just a fraction of research the Super Lawyers staff conducts. The organization subsequently takes into account peer evaluation by practice specialty, a step sometimes referred to as the blue ribbon review. The voting body for this stage is made up of attorneys with the highest scores after phases one and two. Finally, Rising Star selections are made from the highest-scoring lawyers across four firm-size categories. No more than 5 percent of a state’s lawyers can achieve Super Lawyer status, regardless of point total. Rising Star status is even more selective, with only 2.5 percent of a state’s legal professionals qualifying.
