About the Best Law Firms® Awards
Each year, Best Lawyers® evaluates and recognizes firms across the United States for their legal skill, integrity, and commitment to client service. Best Law Firms rankings are awarded by practice area and region, honoring firms whose work creates meaningful impact within their communities and fields.
To qualify for consideration, a firm must meet several criteria, including having at least one attorney listed in The Best Lawyers in America®, and participation in a multi-phase evaluation that includes peer review, client and professional references, and firm-submitted data.
With more than 26,000 attorney reviews and over 100,000 client references considered annually, the Best Law Firms evaluation is one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Amaro Law Firm’s recognition across multiple tiers highlights the firm’s depth of legal experience and the consistent pursuit of excellence across disciplines.
Understanding the Best Law Firms® Tier System
To determine rankings, Best Law Firms combines extensive quantitative and qualitative data into an overall score for each eligible firm. Since many firms are separated by only small margins, results are organized into tiers rather than sequential rankings.
This approach ensures a fair and balanced assessment across regions and specialties. The number of tiers may vary by practice area and jurisdiction, and in some categories, awards are not issued if there is insufficient data to support a competitive analysis.
- Tier 1: Represents the highest level of professional excellence. Firms in this category consistently demonstrate exceptional legal skill, client care, and performance across complex matters.
- Tier 2: Recognizes firms with a significant regional impact and a verified record of favorable results, trusted advocacy, and ethical practice.
- Tier 3: Honors firms noted for steady performance, dependable representation, and strong client satisfaction within their respective areas of focus.
For clients and colleagues alike, the tiered system serves as a trusted measure of firms that lead with skill, professionalism, and integrity within the legal field.
Why the Best Law Firms Recognition Matters
For clients and communities, these recognitions signal more than awards; they reflect:
- Peer respect: Recognition indicates that other accomplished attorneys trust and respect the results, ethics, and quality of counsel a firm can deliver.
- Client satisfaction: Verified client feedback signals strong communication, transparency, and success that goes beyond verdicts and settlements.
- Legal excellence: The Best Law Firms honor validates a firm’s ability to handle complex, high-stakes cases with precision and integrity.
- Community leadership: Selected firms have made notable contributions to advancing legal standards and serving the public good.
