Usage Note

Affermato is the past participle of affermarsi ('to establish oneself'), used as an adjective to describe someone who has achieved professional recognition. Un avvocato affermato is a successful, established lawyer. It implies earned reputation, not mere fame — closer to English 'acclaimed' than simply 'famous.'
