The selection process for Best Lawyers is based on a peer review system designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues. According to the Best Lawyers website, attorneys are nominated and then evaluated by peers who are asked, "If you were unable to take a case yourself, how likely would you refer it to this nominee?" Voters respond on a scale of one to five and may leave additional comments. After collecting and reviewing this feedback, Best Lawyers confirms that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations before finalizing the list.
