Best Lawyers has employed the same sophisticated, conscientious, rational and transparent methodology and survey process for more than 40 years. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. An award presented by Best Lawyers does not guarantee a desired result, nor does it guarantee an honored lawyer being more skilled than lawyers who are not included in the publication.
