Find a Lawyer
The Best Lawyers lawyer directory makes it easy to find the best lawyer for any legal need.
Best Lawyers has spent four decades as the original, trusted source for legal referrals. From nominations to peer reviews, our process is the most thorough evaluation of legal talent in the world.
How can Best Lawyers Help Find a Good Lawyer?
The attorneys listed in the Best Lawyers directory have been nominated and evaluated by their peers. Then they are consistently re-evaluated over time.
Our lists of outstanding lawyers are compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for a lawyer are positive enough for recognition by Best Lawyers, that lawyer must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain in each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be recognized by Best Lawyers.
Recognition by Best Lawyers is widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, conferred on a lawyer by their peers. For more than four decades, our publications have earned the respect of the profession, the media and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere.
