Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Over the years, Best Lawyers has earned the respect of the legal profession, the media, and the public as the most credible measure of legal integrity and distinction in the country.
