About Best Lawyers:

Best Lawyers is one of the oldest peer-review publications in the legal profession and is regarded by many as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Rankings are based on an exhaustive peer-review process in which attorneys from across the country provide feedback on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their respective practice areas. For the 2019 edition, more than 7 million votes were analyzed and less than 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. made the cut.
