How We Did It

To compile our list of the Best Personal Lawyers in Dallas (as opposed to lawyers who only work with large companies), we asked lawyers with a valid Texas Bar number to nominate lawyers in their area of practice. A panel of eminent lawyers evaluated the Best Personal Lawyers in Dallas 2009 list. We then turn over a copy of our final list to our sales staff. The sales department cannot add or subtract from the list. They in turn offer full-profile advertisements to the winners. The editors have no idea who purchases these ads, which are found in a special advertising section somewhere else in the magazine. If lawyers decline to buy an ad, they are still listed.
