Lawyers included in The Best Lawyers in America list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers based on professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on an impressive voting average received during the peer review assessments.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers. Lawyers recognized are divided by geographic region and practice areas. Candidates must be nominated, vetted by their peers and undergo an authentication process before they are recognized by Best Lawyers.

The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are published by Best Lawyers. Read more about the award methodology and process here.
