Top Attorney Methodology
SJ Magazine’s Top Attorney list is drawn from nominations by other attorneys in the region, who must provide their New Jersey Attorney ID number to make nominations through the magazine’s website. Paper ballots could also be submitted with an attorney signature. Attorneys are not permitted to nominate themselves.
This year, we received 1,018 completed nomination forms containing 767 names. Photocopies, duplicate online entries and surveys from ineligible participants were disqualified. Once the nominations were calculated, we determined where the cutoff point was in each category. Those above the cutoff point were then checked against the New Jersey Courts database to determine whether the nominee was licensed to practice law in New Jersey, the date of admission to the New Jersey Bar and where the attorney’s primary area of practice was located.
277 attorneys appear on the 2018 list. The attorneys listed were nominated by their peers, but some highly regarded professionals may not appear on these lists, which could have occurred for many reasons.
By including an attorney on these lists, SJ Magazine does not recommend or endorse his/her service. We desire to provide useful information to supplement what you learn from other sources. If you have a good relationship with an attorney, do not let this cause an unnecessary change.
