How We Rank Lawyers

Our rankings use a Bayesian Average algorithm (similar to IMDB's Top 250) that balances both rating quality and review volume. This prevents lawyers with a single 5-star review from ranking above those with hundreds of excellent reviews.

⭐

Rating QualityHigher star ratings (4.5-5.0) are weighted more favorably

📊

Review VolumeMore reviews increase confidence in the rating

⚖️

Balanced ApproachLawyers need both quality AND quantity to rank well

✓

Fair & UnbiasedRankings based solely on verified Google reviews
