"I don't have time to waste on mediocre lawyers. Best Lawyers gives me some idea of who is out there who won't."

Laurie Breitenstein

Associate General Counsel
J. P. Morgan Securities

"I always encourage my attorneys to put themselves or their colleagues in for consideration for Best Lawyers. I believe Best Lawyers is a cut above the other 'lists' and other attorneys often use the Best Lawyers site for information and referrals. This past year one of the founders of the firm and our president received the coveted letter announcing that he had been named. As soon as he shared the news with me I lobbied for our firm to take advantage of the link to Best Lawyers and we did so that day. I was pleasantly amazed and seriously delighted to learn the very next day that he had had a call directly from the Best Lawyer site and better yet, had landed a matter from that call. The client told him his attorney had a conflict and he knew he was on Best Lawyers so that is where he searched for a replacement. He chose our firm. I really can't ask for better than that."

Amy Smith-Pike

Former Marketing Director
Durrette Crump PLC.

"Best Lawyers is the gold standard in selecting a lawyer."
