Attorneys Deborah Nelson and Jeffrey Boyd have been named “Washington Super Lawyers.”

Each year, only 5 percent of the lawyers in the state receive the honor, with selections for this list made by the research team at Super Lawyers, which is a service of the Thomson Reuters, Legal Division based in Eagan, Minn.

In 2003, Nelson — a Sequim resident — was the first lawyer on the North Olympic Peninsula to receive the Super Lawyer honor. She has received this prestigious award every year since 2003. She is a past president of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association (now the Washington State Association for Justice) and a past president of the Council of Presidents of the American Association for Justice.

She is a frequent speaker and author on insurance coverage.

Boyd is a member of the Board of Governors of the Washington State Association for Justice. He is licensed to practice law in both Ohio and Washington.

He also is a national trial consultant and owner of Boyd Trial Consulting.

Boyd and Nelson have offices in Seattle and Port Angeles.
