We’re honored to share that three of our attorneys – Christopher Baione, Matthew Baione, and Sidrah Syed – have been named to the 2025 New York Metro Rising Stars list by Super Lawyers.
This recognition is meaningful not just to our attorneys, but to the entire firm and the clients we serve. It reflects our continued commitment to providing effective, compassionate, and high-quality legal representation in a field where the stakes are often deeply personal.
What Is the Rising Stars List?
Each year, Super Lawyers recognizes a select group of attorneys who are either 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. Only 2.5% of eligible attorneys in the New York Metro area receive this recognition.
Selections are made through a combination of peer nominations, independent research, and evaluations across 12 criteria ranging from case results to professional conduct, community involvement, and peer respect. We’re grateful to be included among such a talented and dedicated group of legal professionals.
Why It Matters
At Pitta & Baione, our focus has always been on the people and communities we serve. While we don’t seek out recognition, we value the kind that reflects the trust of our peers and the quality of our work. For our clients, this acknowledgment offers a few important takeaways:
- Consistency: Our attorneys have shown a strong track record of results in complex, high-stakes legal matters.
- Peer Recognition: We’re respected by colleagues and opposing counsel alike, which can help build credibility and trust in negotiations and in court.
- Commitment to Growth: This recognition highlights our team’s dedication to continually improving and staying current in an evolving legal landscape.
A Reflection of Our Approach
More than anything, we see this as a reflection of how we practice law: with care, focus, and respect for the people behind each case. Whether helping victims of 9/11-related illnesses or guiding clients through personal legal challenges, we bring the same level of dedication and preparation to every matter.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud of Christopher, Matthew, and Sidrah, not just for this recognition, but for the work they do every day on behalf of our clients. We’re grateful to the people and families who trust us with some of the most important matters in their lives. This kind of recognition reminds us why we do what we do and encourages us to keep striving for excellence.
Thank you to our clients, peers, and community for your ongoing support. We don’t take it for granted.
