Why This Recognition Matters
Being selected for The Best Lawyers in America is more than a professional achievement. It is a testament to the trust, respect, and recognition our attorneys have earned from their peers in the legal community. The methodology is rooted in peer review, where leading attorneys evaluate the performance of their colleagues in specific practice areas.
This means that when you choose Anapol Weiss, you are choosing a team whose excellence has been affirmed not just by clients, but by fellow attorneys nationwide.
Best Lawyers Methodology
Selection to The Best Lawyers in America is based entirely on peer review, making it one of the most respected honors in the legal field.
The process begins with nominations, which come from clients, colleagues, or other members of the legal community, but never from the attorney themselves. Once nominated, attorneys are evaluated by lawyers who have already been recognized in the same region and practice area. These peers provide confidential ratings and written feedback, which are then carefully analyzed and verified to ensure fairness and accuracy. Finally, all candidates are reviewed for professional eligibility and good standing with their bar associations before the results are published.
Because the recognition comes directly from fellow attorneys who see the quality of work firsthand, being named to Best Lawyers represents one of the highest marks of professional respect in the legal industry.
