How thoughtful online networking supports sustained legal practice growth.

Abstract web of connected figures symbolizing online networking among legal professionals

"The Best Lawyers in America has successfully established itself as a reputable and reliable clearinghouse of well-regarded attorneys. Inclusion is exclusive and coveted, and there is regular turnover in the attorneys listed. Woodward/White notes that Best Lawyers lists have been featured in more than 50 major metropolitan magazines in the past two years, an indication of how widely publicized the individual listings have become. This kind of exclusivity, and the solid reputation that the directory's selection process has achieved, make the directory a valuable resource for users."

"Best Lawyers, one of the country's few legitimate lawyer-rating services."

"Our firm recently received a call from a prospective client who had found us via the Best Lawyers web site. They told us that they were impressed that our firm had so many attorneys listed. We met with them, presented our credentials, and got the business, thanks in part to the initial contact through The Best Lawyers in America."
