The publication has recognized Don as a "Super Lawyer" since 2011. But this is his first time being selected for inclusion in the Top 100 rankings. This peer designation is awarded to approximately five percent of accomplished attorneys in each state and is only given to lawyers who received the highest point totals during the selection process involving peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations. According to Super Lawyers, "As one of the few attorneys to garner the distinction of Super Lawyers, Donalt Eglinton has earned the respect of peers as one of the top-rated attorneys in the nation."
