Twenty-four attorneys were recognized as 2019 Best Lawyers in America©, by the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.

According to Best Lawyers©, the lists are compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which ten of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for recognition in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain in each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be recognized by Best Lawyers.
