About Sacramento’s Top Lawyers List 2015

Voting for Professional Research Services’ survey to determine the top attorneys in 2015 for Sacramento magazine was open to all licensed attorneys in Sacramento, California. Attorneys were asked whom they would recommend among 53 legal specialties, other than themselves, in the Sacramento area. Each attorney was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues in each given legal specialty. Once the online nominations were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license, and their current standing with The State Bar of California. Attorneys who received the highest number of votes in each specialty are reflected in the above list.

The professionals listed above were selected by their peers in a survey conducted by Professional Research Services Company of Royal Oak, Michigan. Professionals may be screened and selected through the verification of licensing and review of any infractions through various applicable boards, agencies, and rating services.
