Best Lawyers is a rating service acknowledging outstanding lawyers in a particular city in each state. The list highlights the top 6% of private practicing attorneys in the United States who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made through a comprehensive statewide process that includes peer nominations and peer evaluations. The 2023 edition is based on more than 12.2 million evaluations and recognizes just over 71,000 attorneys.
