TrueOrFLSA blogger and South Carolina unpaid overtime lawyer Jeremy Summerlin was recently selected as an honoree for South Carolina Super Lawyers 2020. (Because it’s considered uncouth to one’s own horn, Mr. Summerlin, as author of this blog post, will proceed entirely in the third person, so as to mitigate the noisome effects of such self-tooting of horns.) Mr. Summerlin was honored as a Rising Star in the practice area of Employment & Labor law, and this was his third consecutive year receiving such an honor. No one yet knows just high his Star will Rise.
Upon hearing the news, Mr. Summerlin was characteristically humble yet still strikingly handsome, and he was heard to remark by this author, “I’m humbled to accept this prestigious reward, which is only granted to a single lawyer in the world each year probably, and not to most of the lawyers in South Carolina.”
He went on to assure his beloved readers that “such an award will not impact my level of humility moving forward, nor will I acknowledge any other people in a complimentary fashion, since I alone am responsible for this achievement and am therefore the greatest lawyer that has ever lived,” he said in what he will forever recall as a humble manner.
