Best Lawyers has released its 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® along with its “Lawyer of the Year” honorees and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America. Smith Haughey is proud to have 25 individuals recognized by Best Lawyers.
Best Lawyers uses a peer-review survey to evaluate lawyers and the quality of their legal services. Lawyers cannot self-nominate, must be in good standing with local bar associations, and are judged by colleagues within the same geographical area and practice area. Only about 5% of practicing attorneys in the market earn this distinction.
Below is a complete list of Smith Haughey attorneys selected for the 33rd edition of Best Lawyers in America®.
