Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than tens of thousands of leading attorneys evaluate their peers on legal abilities 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 significant honor. Many of the attorneys selected this year have been named among Best Lawyers for years.
