Norman attorney David Bernstein recently was honored as a "Super Lawyer," limited to the top percent of attorneys across the state. Bernstein has made the list every year since the program began in 2006.

Bernstein specializes in bad faith insurance law, significant personal injury cases, truck collision cases and defective product cases.

Two local Allstate insurance agencies recently were honored by the company as Premier Service Agencies, an honor given to less than 20 percent of Allstate agencies in Oklahoma.

Norman Allstate agent Randy Stansel, 1208 Lindsey Plaza Dr., and Moore agent Jim Wilson, 721 NW 12th St., were honored.

Allstate said the honor is given to agents who consistently demonstrate excellence in providing an accessible, knowledgeable and personal customer experience.
