All of us will inevitably require legal assistance throughout the course of our lives, though some of us will need more of it than others. Whether it’s to mediate a divorce, protect the future of a business or negotiate better terms for employment, a skilled attorney can make all the difference between a positive outcome and one you’ll want to forget. To help you in your search, we present our 2014 Top Attorneys list. We asked readers to share their opinions on which attorneys excel in various areas of practice—from antitrust to zoning, and everything in between—and they did not disappoint. Hundreds of readers cast votes to help compile a definitive list of attorneys to turn to for help and guidance when they need it most.
