The 31ˢᵗ edition reached a historic milestone with over 250,000 voters having participated in the process since they began asking, “If you are unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this lawyer?” Only top practicing lawyers in the U.S. were selected by their peers for inclusion in the milestone 31st edition of Best Lawyers in America®. Additionally, only a single lawyer in a specific practice area and geographic region is honored with a “Lawyer of the Year” designation.
