About The Best Lawyers in America®
Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® is based on nomination, voting and evaluation by peers in the same practice area and geographic region. Best Lawyers® assesses the information and checks each attorney’s status with local bar associations. Lawyers do not pay to be included. First published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America® is regarded as a definitive guide to excellence in the legal profession. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America uses the same peer review methodology to recognize lawyers for professional excellence who are earlier in their careers, typically having been in practice for five to nine years.
