Super Lawyers Magazine, one of the legal industry’s leading publications, recognized two members of the Del Galdo Law Group in their annual "Super Lawyers" honor which recognizes the State's top attorneys in their field. The magazine named Del Galdo Law Group LLC principal Michael Del Galdo and James M. Vasselli as recipients of the  2012 “Rising Stars” distinction.

"Mr. Vasselli's work at our firm and for our clients has always been internally recognized as of the highest caliber and I am proud that the legal community has also recognized this fact,” Del Galdo said.
