U.S. News - Best Lawyers Introduce Comprehensive Lawyer Directory

WASHINGTON, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, and Best Lawyers®, the world's only purely peer-review™ guide to top talent in the legal profession, today unveiled the U.S. News Lawyer Directory – powered by Best Lawyers. The new directory will initially serve as a comprehensive guide to tens of thousands of lawyers currently working in private practice throughout the United States and will eventually expand to cover the more than 1.3 million lawyers in this country.

U.S. News Lawyer Directory – powered by Best Lawyers is a free resource for those seeking legal representation in virtually any jurisdiction and area of practice within the United States. Using advanced search technology, comparative tools, and easy-to-read lawyer profiles, users can identify a lawyer that meets their specific legal needs.

Inclusion in the Lawyer Directory is solely based on whether an attorney is currently working in private practice. A lawyer does not need to be ranked by U.S. News or Best Lawyers to appear on the site, and there is no charge for a lawyer's basic information to appear in the U.S. News Lawyer Directory.

"U.S. News helps millions of people each year make complex decisions, from finding the right hospital or doctor to identifying the best college, online program or graduate school," said Tim Smart, executive editor of U.S. News. "We're delighted to team up with Best Lawyers to offer our audience new legal resources."

The comprehensive guide serves as a valuable resource for consumers seeking legal assistance.
