How they made the list
Choosing the tops in any professional category, let alone the legal industry, is no easy task, so we took the challenge to those who know the field best, Northern Virginia criminal and personal injury lawyers. We tasked them with answering: “If you had a close friend or relative who needed a criminal or personal injury lawyer, and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?”

Lawyers were able to nominate peers in Criminal Defense; Criminal Defense: DUI/DWI; Criminal Defense: White Collar; Criminal Prosecution; Personal Injury Defense; Personal Injury Defense: Medical Malpractice; Personal Injury Defense: Products; Personal Injury Plaintiff; Personal Injury Plaintiff: Medical Malpractice; Personal Injury Plaintiff: Products
