AIKEN, S.C. – October 2, 2013 – LawFuel.com Best Law Firm Newswire – Best Lawyers, the oldest and most highly respected guide to the legal profession, is accepting nominations for the 21st Edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Nominations can be submitted by the general public, clients, other attorneys and marketing teams.

After nominations are complete, attorneys are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are evaluated by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication review to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

“Nominating qualified attorneys is the first step in acknowledging the accomplishments of exceptional legal professionals,” said President and Co-Founder Steven Naifeh.

Nominees should be in practice for at least 10 years. It is in the nominator’s best interest to only submit nominations in practice areas in which the attorney specializes.

A new nomination system allows the public to easily enter information for the eligible attorney. The nomination period ends December 31, 2013.
