Since it was first published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America has become widely regarded as a respected reference guide to legal excellence. Attorneys named to The Best Lawyers in America are chosen as a result of peer review surveys in which lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers based on more than three million detailed evaluations of lawyers in the same and related specialties.

In addition to these rankings, Best Lawyers recognized Principal MaryJane (MJ) Dobbs as a “Lawyer of the Year” in Litigation – Labor & Employment; and Principal David P. Schneider as a “Lawyer of the Year” in Environmental. Lawyer of the Year recognitions are awarded to individual attorneys with the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region. Best Lawyers selects only one attorney in each practice category and designated metropolitan area as its "Lawyer of the Year," making this recognition especially noteworthy.
