Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review research and marketing survey in the legal profession. The rankings are based on more than 10 million evaluations from more than 43,000 leading lawyers in the United States.
Attorneys are nominated by their peers in a confidential survey. Lawyers are asked to provide feedback on other attorneys in their practice areas and geographic regions. The results are then tallied and reviewed by Best Lawyers' editorial board.
The Best Lawyers in America is a highly prestigious honor. Only the top 4% of lawyers in the United States are selected for inclusion in the annual rankings.
