Best Lawyers in America® Selection Process

Best Lawyers utilizes a peer-review methodology that allows them to evaluate
thousands of attorneys all across the country. The process begins with
nominations, which are open to anyone. Attorneys who are nominated are
then placed on a ballot, which is distributed to attorneys based on their
practice areas and geographic region. Attorneys only review and vote on
those nominees who are in their region and practice area to ensure reliable results.

The ballot consists of one simple question: “If you are unable to
take a case yourself, how likely would you be to refer this case to this
nominee?” The nominees are scored on a one-to-five rating.

Once voting is completed, the Best Lawyers staff review the voting and
any comments left by voting attorneys before verifying each qualifying
attorney’s eligibility. All attorneys must be free from any disciplinary
sanctions or negative actions with their state bar association and must
be in good standing with the bar ethics committee.
