Author: anonym  //  Category: xn--g7qx97f.com
  • I am trying to find California's Top Trial Lawyers.

    I am in search of Top Lawyer Lists.

    * Lists like California Law Business TOP 100 or National Law Journal's 100 Most Influential Lawyers.


  • Hi again! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get your question right the first time around. Here are other top lawyer lists that I found online. Aside from the “Top 100 Most Influential Lawyers of California” I couldn’t find anything on line, which is a definitive list for California. I have found other lists like this that you maybe interested to look at. Chicago 30 Tough Lawyers (from Chicago Mag.com) http://www.chicagomag.com/people/0302lawyer.htm">http://www.chicagomag.com/people/0302lawyer.htm Minnesota Minnesota's top lawyers from Superlawyers.com http://www.superlawyers.com/minnesota.asp?l=alpha&sort=A">http://www.superlawyers.com/minnesota.asp?l=alpha&sort=A Washington Washington's top lawyers from Superlawyers.com http://www.superlawyers.com/washington.asp?l=alpha&sort=A">http://www.superlawyers.com/washington.asp?l=alpha&sort=A Washington’s Top 50 from the Washingtonian http://www.washingtonian.com/people/lawyers/heavyhitters.html">http://www.washingtonian.com/people/lawyers/heavyhitters.html Dallas The Best Lawyers in Dallas from D Magazine http://www.dmagazine.com/may01/lawyerc0501.shtml">http://www.dmagazine.com/may01/lawyerc0501.shtml Best Lawyer’s.com has a searchable database of their best lawyer’s list. http://www.bestlawyers.com/">http://www.bestlawyers.com/ I hope this would be helpful to you. Thanks again for visiting us at Google Answers.


  • My question was not answered. I was given lists I already stated in my question and lists that were not in the state of California.


  • I'm only looking for a list of top lawyers in California.


  • The California Law Business JOurnal produces a list of the states Top 100 lawyers. Although they don't make it available on line, a lot of lawyers do their own press releases when they make the list. A Google search on "top 100" "lawyers in California"will give you 40 solid hits to get you started.
    As for the National list (from a few years back):

  • I already have the California Law Business and the NLJ 100 most influential lists. I am in search of lists like them.


  • Hi again. I'm sorry but the only other definitive list for top California lawyers is the the "top 50 women layers of Southern California" and it seems that such a list is not available on the Internet. I tried to find some members but I onlyy came up with Molly Munger, Co-Director, Los Angeles, CA (http://www.advancementproject.org/contact_info.htm">http://www.advancementproject.org/contact_info.htm). I was under the impression that a national type of list will do just fine. I really apologize for not answering the question to your satisfaction.
