Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. Recognition by Best Lawyers is widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, conferred on a lawyer by their peers. For more than four decades, Best Lawyers publications have earned the respect of the profession, the media and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere. Best Lawyers lists of outstanding lawyers are compiled by conducting exhaustive  peer review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for a lawyer are positive enough for recognition by Best Lawyers, that lawyer must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain in each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to particulate in or be considered for inclusion in Best Lawyers. For more information on Best Lawyers methodology, please visit the methodology page.
