Recognizing outstanding lawyers in the North Texas region
D Magazine is proud to annually honor exceptional lawyers in our May issue. The attorneys on our Best Lawyers list are peer-nominated on the basis that they offer unparalleled counsel in one of 40 categories.
These are members of the legal community representing the people and institutions of Dallas with mastery and drive.
How do I make nominations?
Nominations for the 2020 program are currently closed. An email will be sent out notifying voters that the voting window is open. Also, a link to the voting form will appear in the section above titled “Nominate a Lawyer”.
When will winners be announced?
D Magazine will contact winners in early January.
How does D Magazine determine which lawyers make the list?
To compile our list of the best lawyers in Dallas, we ask lawyers with a valid Texas Bar number to nominate two lawyers outside their firm and one within their firm across all voting categories, keeping the following question in mind: “Which Dallas lawyers, of those whose work you have witnessed firsthand, would you rank among the current best? Answers may include co-counsel, lawyers you have observed in court, and opposing counsel.” After the votes are tallied, a panel of eminent lawyers will meet with our editors to evaluate the Best Lawyers in Dallas 2020 list. Self-nominations will not count. The panel’s anonymity is assured to allow the lawyers to speak freely about issues regarding their peers that would be known only to the legal community. After this list is completed, we turn over a copy to our sales staff. The sales department cannot add to 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.
