ABOUT BEST LAWYERS:

Best Lawyers® is the oldest and most respected lawyer ranking service in the world, and the only peer-reviewed guide to the legal profession. For over 40 years, Best Lawyers® has been esteemed by both legal professionals and the public as a premier benchmark for legal integrity and distinction in the United States.

Consequently, being recognized by Best Lawyers® is a testament to exceptional practice.  

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America is determined through a comprehensive peer-review survey. To create The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America awards through a comprehensive peer-review survey, over 27 million evaluations were analyzed including a record breaking 4.4 million responses from this year alone. Our commitment to a purely peer-based review process is central to our philosophy, as we believe that the top lawyers are best suited to identify their peers at the highest level. Best Lawyers lists are published in leading local, regional, and national publications across the globe.  

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the most credible measure of legal integrity and distinction in the United States. As such, recognition by Best Lawyers® signifies excellence in practice. For the 2025 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America, more than 27 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in almost 80,000 leading attorneys honored in The Best Lawyers in America (5.7% of eligible lawyers) and 26,000 highlighted in Ones to Watch (7.4% of eligible lawyers). Evaluations are based on the legal abilities of other lawyers in 150 different 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. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers® “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.” Phil Greer, CEO of Best Lawyers® says, “Best Lawyers® was founded in 1981 with the purpose of recognizing extraordinary lawyers in private practice through an exhaustive peer-review process. Now, over 40 years later, we are proud to continue to serve as the most reliable, unbiased guide to legal talent worldwide.” For the past four decades, Best Lawyers has been regarded – by both the legal profession and the public – as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. A purely peer review methodology is at the core of The Best Lawyers in America® company credo; in short, the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are.
