Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become a well-regarded guide. Because Best Lawyers® is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which attorneys cast votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers® is considered a singular honor.
More information about the Best Lawyers® rankings, including the selection process, can be found here.
