About Best Lawyers:
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. Being recognized by Best Lawyers is a testament to exceptional practice.

Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® is determined through a comprehensive peer-review survey. The 32ⁿᵈ edition reached a historic milestone with over 280,000 voters having participated in our voting process since we began asking the very best: “If you are unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this lawyer?” To create the awards over 26 million evaluations were analyzed including a record breaking 3.5 million responses from this year alone. Our commitment to our industry-driven, 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.
