About Best Lawyers®Since its inception in 1983,
Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. Because
Best Lawyers® is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 16,000 leading attorneys throughout the country cast more than a half million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in
Best Lawyers® is considered a singular honor.
