The Best Attorneys Network Selection Process

How The “Best Attorneys” Are Selected

The Best Attorneys Network recognizes some of the most distinguished attorneys in the country. Unlike similar accolades which are bestowed based solely upon peer survey results, The Best Attorneys Network is the only directory which also considers input from clients and other lay people who may be familiar with an attorney’s abilities. Thousands of attorneys and other legal professionals are surveyed and their recommendations are given weighted consideration. However, clients and other people familiar with particular attorneys are encouraged to vote for current honorees and/or nominate deserving “best attorney” candidates. Only those attorneys most often recommended by peers and most often voted for online are chosen for this distinction. This formula allows deserving attorneys to be recognized when professional jealousy or competitive zeal might otherwise leave them ignored. Inclusion is considered a high honor, with less than 5% of all attorneys being awarded this distinction.

Additionally, to ensure the integrity of this directory this honor is awarded on an annual basis. There are no guarantees that any current “best attorney” will be selected the following year. An honoree must “qualify” each year, based upon our formula of peer reviews and online votes.

There is NEVER a fee or obligation of any kind for inclusion in The Best Attorneys Network. An attorney cannot buy the distinction of being considered a “Best Attorney”.
