Best Lawyers relies on its Purely Peer Review® system to decide which attorneys earn a spot on its annual list. The process starts with nominations from other lawyers, who are asked a simple but important question: “If you couldn’t handle a case yourself, would you refer it to this lawyer?” From there, Best Lawyers reviews the feedback and conducts its own analysis to make sure the nominees truly stand out in their field. By the end, only a small fraction of practicing attorneys is selected.
