I am looking for a personal injury lawyer and see that a few lawyers are included on the "Best Lawyers" list. What does that mean?
“Best Lawyers” is a national organization that recognizes outstanding lawyers in each state in a large number of legal specialties. Best Lawyers compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. In the U.S., Best Lawyers publishes an annual referral guide, The Best Lawyers in America, which includes 39,766 attorneys in 80 practice areas, covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This publication is one way you can determine if the lawyer who you are thinking about hiring is respected by his or her peers. You can read more about the selection process here.
I am honored to have been listed in Best Lawyers in America every year since 1993, when I was 36 years old.
