Setliff Attorneys Named 2026 Virginia Super Lawyers

Setliff Law is proud to announce that two of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2026 Virginia Super Lawyers rankings, an honor reserved for a select group of attorneys demonstrating exceptional professional achievement and peer recognition.

Steve Setliff, partner and owner of Setliff Law, has once again been named to the Virginia Super Lawyers list in the practice area of Transportation/Maritime, reflecting his longstanding leadership and experience representing clients in complex transportation and logistics matters. His work continues to support some of the nation’s most prominent carriers and industry stakeholders, particularly in high-exposure litigation and regulatory matters.

In addition, Jason Mackey, partner, has been selected to the Rising Stars list in Civil Litigation Defense. This distinction recognizes top-performing attorneys who are either under the age of 40 or have been in practice for fewer than 10 years, highlighting emerging leaders who are already making a significant impact in their field. Mackey’s recognition underscores his integral role in defending clients across a range of civil litigation matters.

The Super Lawyers selection process is both rigorous and highly competitive. Candidates are evaluated through a combination of peer nominations, independent research, and peer reviews. Only the top 5% of attorneys in Virginia are named to the Super Lawyers list each year, while just 2.5% are selected for Rising Stars—making these distinctions a meaningful indicator of professional excellence within the legal community.

These honors further reinforce Setliff Law’s reputation as a trusted partner for businesses operating in complex, high-risk industries. The firm’s attorneys are deeply attuned to the legal and operational challenges their clients face and are committed to providing practical, results-driven counsel both in and out of the courtroom.
