Lawyers are nominated for inclusion in the United States Lawyer Rankings by members of the Bar, the Judiciary, and by senior management of large corporate and institutional clients. Lawyers are not allowed to nominate themselves, nor any members of their own firm. Lawyers are ranked based on confidential questionnaires, which are graded out of 100 points. Only attorneys with a minimum of 90 points or higher are eligible to be included in the rankings.
The questionnaire includes general inquiries on the attorney’s legal ability; negotiating, drafting, and oral advocacy skills; and ability to develop creative solutions when faced with new issues. Other questions include: does the attorney remain individually involved to the appropriate level in his/her cases, how well the attorney staffs a case or matter, how much does the attorney add to the body of knowledge in his/her practice area, and would you retain this attorney to handle a matter for yourself or a close family member?
About United States Lawyer Rankings
United States Lawyer Rankings was established by a consortium of U.S. corporations in order to recognize lawyers who have consistently provided the highest degree of legal representation so their members, as well as other businesses and individual clients, can have a degree of guidance when choosing to retain a law firm. Although United States Lawyer Rankings does seek to recognize lawyers who have provided the finest level of legal representation, the main purpose of the rankings is to provide guidance for potential clients, not to benefit the lawyers. For this reason, they do not distribute marketing materials and have no contact with law firm marketing departments. They do not accept payments from lawyers, law firms, or third parties for advertisements, professional listings, bound volumes, or additional payments of any kind. For more information on United States Lawyer Rankings, please visit www.unitedstateslawyerrankings.com.
