"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."

"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."

"On many occasions I have had an opportunity to use Best Lawyers for co-counsel and client referral purposes in other jurisdictions and in other areas of the law, both for myself and for others in our 40-attorney boutique practice. Every one of these referrals has worked out well with competent counsel and service. Your publication has served us well for quite a while. Our experience with it exemplifies the quality of its content and of counsel listed. Thank you for a truly useful resource."

"We indeed refer to Best Lawyers very often in these days. In the era of global economy, where emerging markets have more and more importance, it is critical to have a sense of who appears to be good in a given field of a given jurisdiction. For this purpose, we find the information given by Best Lawyers more and more important."
