About Best Lawyers in America
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers in America® has become universally regarded as one of the definitive guides to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which thousands of leading attorneys collectively cast several million 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. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.” It is important to note that the lawyers listed in Best Lawyers have no say in deciding which practice areas they are included in. Rather, they are voted into practice areas entirely as a result of the votes they receive from their peers. (The Best Lawyers in America® 2020.
