FAQs

Q: How Selective Is the Top Lawyers Directory?

A: Main Line Today employs an annual peer-to-peer balloting system that determines the cream of the crop in the legal profession.

Q: How Many Votes Does a Lawyer Need to Make the List?

A: It depends. Most categories have a standard threshold based on the overall number of attorneys. We lower the threshold for certain specialties and in counties where the number of lawyers is smaller.

Q: Can a Lawyer Pay to Be on the List?

A: Never. We receive no compensation in exchange for placement on the list. Advertisers are not guaranteed placement. Only after the list has been finalized are lawyers notified. At that point, they can choose to advertise to promote the achievement. Many of the ads appear in the special advertising section published in the magazine.

Q: Do You Verify All Lawyers on the List?

A: Yes. All voters and nominees are vetted using the appropriate state licensure resources, and a balloting coordinator confirms practice information.

Q: I’m a Lawyer. Why Didn’t I Receive a Ballot?

A: Every effort is made to include as many lawyers as possible in the balloting process.

Q: Can I Find the Directory Online?

A: Yes. The Top Lawyers directory can be accessed for free anytime at mainlinetoday.com.
