Recognition in Best Lawyers® is based on a peer review and voting process. The results are analyzed as to professional abilities within geographic regions.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
