AMERICA’S TOP 100 CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS®
Selection to America’s Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys® is by invitation only and is comprised of the nation’s most exceptional White-Collar and General Criminal Defense Attorneys whose accomplishments merit recognition. Membership among America’s Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys® is meant to identify and promote the most outstanding and impactful legal talent currently serving throughout the nation. Only 100 attorneys in each state* will receive this honor and be selected for membership among America’s Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys®.
To help ensure that all attorneys selected for membership meet the very high standards expected for selection, candidates are carefully screened through third-party research and statistical analysis based on a broad array of criteria, including the candidate’s professional experience, legal achievements, significant case results, peer reputation, and community impact (SeeSelection Methodology for more information about the selection process). While selection for any award, honor, or exclusive membership organization is always subjective in nature, we developed our comprehensive multi-phase selection process in an effort to help ensure that only the attorneys whose achievements extol the legal profession are chosen.
With these extremely high standards for selection to America’s Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys®, less than one-half percent (0.5%) of active attorneys in the United States will receive this honor — truly the most exclusive and elite level of Criminal Defense attorneys in the community.
