"When asked for a referral, Best Lawyers is the resource to which I invariably turn. I have a high confidence level in attorneys listed in the book, even without knowing them. The organization of attorneys by geographic location and legal practice area makes the publication very user-friendly."

"For a mutual fund Trustee who is not a US citizen Best Lawyers is the 'Zagat' go-to guide. Boards constantly review the quality of advisers and understanding the shifting front of all the legal runners and riders is essential. Best Lawyers is a one-stop shop."

"I always encourage my attorneys to put themselves or their colleagues in for consideration for Best Lawyers. I believe Best Lawyers is a cut above the other 'lists' and other attorneys often use the Best Lawyers site for information and referrals. This past year one of the founders of the firm and our president received the coveted letter announcing that he had been named. As soon as he shared the news with me I lobbied for our firm to take advantage of the link to Best Lawyers and we did so that day. I was pleasantly amazed and seriously delighted to learn the very next day that he had had a call directly from the Best Lawyer site and better yet, had landed a matter from that call. The client told him his attorney had a conflict and he knew he was on Best Lawyers so that is where he searched for a replacement. He chose our firm. I really can't ask for better than that."
