About Lawyer of the Year
Selections for The Best Lawyers in America®are based entirely on peer nominations and confidential evaluations from attorneys recognized in the same practice area and geographic region. After a thorough review, one lawyer in each specialty and metro area earns the title of “Lawyer of the Year,” an honor reserved for the individual who receives the highest overall peer feedback. With only about 5% of U.S. attorneys earning a Best Lawyers distinction and even fewer receiving the “Lawyer of the Year” accolade, this award highlights exceptional reputation, leadership, and influence among the legal community.
