Rogers Towers Attorneys Named to the U.S. News and World Report Magazine’s 2015 List of “Best Lawyers”

Best Lawyers is the oldest peer-review publication in the legal profession. Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer-review. List of outstanding attorneys are compiled by conducting surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers ^® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey. Over 52,000 leading attorneys cast more than 5.5 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

In 2009, Best Lawyers partnered with U.S. News & World Report Magazine , to rank law firms in the United States. “ 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 in a particular practice area and metro region, a law firm must have at least one lawyer who is included in Best Lawyers in that particular practice area and metro region.
