These rankings from the U.S. News-Best Lawyers partnership are based on evaluations from clients and lawyers, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and additional information compiled by editorial staff to ensure a rigorous selection process.  A firm must have at least one attorney who is individually recognized in the current edition of the Best Lawyers magazine to be eligible for a ranking from U.S. News in a particular practice area.  Once the firm is eligible, the U.S. News-Best Lawyers staff ask clients to provide feedback addressing the firm’s expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, and civility.  Other lawyers around the state similarly are asked to address the firm’s expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to the firm, and whether they consider the firm a worthy competitor.
