What Is Best Lawyers®? 

Since 1981, The Best Lawyers in America has been an annual peer-review award that recognizes some of the highest-performing, well-regarded lawyers in the nation. The selection process is designed to “capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.” The final list of attorneys for a year, geographical area, and practice area is published in The Best Lawyers in America.

The Methodology Behind the Honor 

The selection process begins with nominations from across the legal industry, primarily by former clients and colleagues at other law firms. Nominees then receive ballots to rate their colleagues based on one question: “If you were unable to take a case yourself, how likely would you be to refer it to this nominee?” The nominees’ names are excluded from the ballots to ensure unbiased reviews. 

All nominees are then vetted through state bar sanction lists to ensure they are in good standing with their respective ethics committees. The lawyers or law firms that receive the highest scores are then recognized with specific honors from Best Lawyers. 

The announcement of our firm’s inclusion in this respected publication is more than just an honor—it’s a validation of our commitment to our clients. The fact that 9 of our attorneys have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® and 5 by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is a testament to our team's collective skills, integrity, and dedication. We are deeply proud of each for earning this well-deserved honor.
