Super Lawyers vs Best Lawyers: What Each Credential Means for Consumers

Super Lawyers (Thomson Reuters, trust 9/10) uses a patented multiphase selection process including peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations. No more than 5% of attorneys in each state receive the designation. Best Lawyers in America (trust 10/10) relies exclusively on peer-review surveys — attorneys vote on colleagues they consider outstanding. Best Lawyers does not accept payment for inclusion. Firms appearing in both directories — like The McClellan Law Firm and Mission Personal Injury Lawyers — have been vetted through two independent methodologies.
