Founded in 1981 and first published in 1983, Best Lawyers is the oldest lawyer-rating publication in the U.S., and the gold standard for accuracy and integrity. The current, 17th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2011), is based on nearly 3 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

In Asheville, four family law attorneys and five bankruptcy attorneys were selected to Best Lawyers in America.
