Best Lawyers explained that lawyers “are not able to buy their way into this guide” but rather, must earn a spot from peers in their practice areas. Lawyers are “urged to use only their highest standards” when voting and asked to use this guideline: “If you had a close friend or relative who needed a real estate lawyer (for example), and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?”
I call that standard “a lawyers’ lawyer” — the kind of lawyer another calls for help or would recommend to a loved one, the kind of lawyer other lawyers respect.
