What does "Best Lawyers" recognition mean?

Best Lawyers is the oldest peer-review publication in the legal profession, identifying outstanding attorneys through a confidential survey process. Lawyers cannot pay to be listed. Selection is based entirely on peer evaluation. Other attorneys in the same practice area and geographic region vote on who they consider the best in the field. Being named to Best Lawyers indicates that an attorney has earned the respect of their peers through demonstrated skill, ethical practice, and successful results. Attorney Michael Kane at Kane Trial Law has been recognized by Best Lawyers as one of Colorado's top personal injury attorneys, reflecting his track record in high-stakes catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation.
