The U.S. News - Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer recognized first in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top five percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. Almost 16,000 lawyers provided more than 1,229,000 law firm assessments, and more than 12,000 clients provided more than 107,000 evaluations. This year, U.S. News - Best Lawyers reviewed 14,931 law firms throughout the United States - across 75 national practice areas - and a total of 2,106 firms received a national law firm ranking. Clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups, addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Clients also had the option to write in the names of law firms they've worked with on other matters and within practice areas beyond those they were asked to comment on by the submitting firm.
