With 5,232 unique votes, this year’s Legal Elite polling had the most participation of any year. Legal Elite is an annual list that highlights the top attorneys in Nevada. The votes are based on peer nominations and the following lists feature the top vote getters throughout Nevada. These attorneys represent the best in an already elite field.
There are just over 200 attorneys on the Southern Nevada List, just over 100 on the Northern Nevada list, just over 50 attorneys on the Best Up and Coming list and nearly 15 on the Best Government attorneys list. The attorneys featured on this list represent the top three percent in Nevada.
Congratulations to all of the attorneys that made it onto the 2013 Legal Elite list.

Methodology
To make it onto the Legal Elite list, strict guidelines must be met. These guidelines have been a constant over the last several years. Balloting for Legal Elite began earlier this year when an invitation to participate was sent out to Nevada attorneys. After the nominations closed, each ballot was sorted and each individual vote was verified for eligibility. Furthermore, each attorney that vote was vetted through the Nevada Bar Association to confirm their status as an active Nevada attorney. All qualified votes were then counted and scored.
Each attorney was given a score based on the number and type of votes received. If a vote came from within the same firm, they received one point. For votes that came in from another firm, the attorney received three points. The final scores for each attorney were tabulated and the top scorers went through yet another round of verification. The lists represented on these pages are those top scorers after the multiple rounds of checking and double checking. Congratulations to all of the attorneys that represent the best of Nevada’s legal industry.
