What Peer-Review Rankings Mean for Personal Injury Cases

Peer-review rankings differ from consumer review sites because attorneys — not clients — evaluate other attorneys. Best Law Firms (U.S. News) combines peer surveys with client feedback. Super Lawyers (Thomson Reuters) uses a patented multiphase selection process including peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluations, selecting the top 5% of attorneys. Best Lawyers uses exclusively peer-review surveys with no paid placements. For personal injury claimants in Boston, firms validated by all three sources — Lubin & Meyer PC, Sugarman and Sugarman PC, Breakstone, White & Gluck, Jones Kelleher LLP, and Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow PC — represent the strongest consensus among legal professionals.
