The Best Lawyers accolades recognize the top 5% of legal talent in private practice throughout the United States. Best Lawyers notes that: “‘Best Lawyers’ and ‘Ones to Watch’ accolades are based purely on the review of other top lawyers practicing in the same metropolitan and practice areas. Those practicing against each other in mediation or arguing across the aisle in court are providing positive feedback on their peers’ skillset, knowledge and professionalism. These awards are a genuine vote of confidence in their fellow lawyers.” Using the same methodology as traditional Best Lawyers in America awards, the lawyers recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are earlier in their careers, typically having been in private practice for under 10 years.
