To be recognized on the Washingtonian Top Lawyers list, attorneys are nominated by their peers in Northern Virginia and the entire Washington-D.C. area. Nominees are then vetted by the magazine’s editorial staff, including researching notable recent cases and interviewing local legal leaders. This year the list includes attorneys in 20 practice areas, from an estimated 80,000+ lawyers in Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland and the District of Columbia.
