Willig. “We are committed to ensuring that the men and women who teach our children, work in our libraries and supermarkets, transport  goods across the country, and protect our health and safety are treated fairly ¬– and when that commitment earns the continued respect of our clients and peers, so much the better.”

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.

The highest honor, a Tier 1 ranking, is based on a firm's overall evaluation, which is derived from a combination of its clients' impressive feedback, the high regard that lawyers in other firms in the same practice area have for the firm, and the information that the firm provided to Best Lawyers via a survey.
