Minnesota Monthly compiles its Top Lawyers lists using a structured, peer‑review‑based methodology managed in partnership with Professional Research Services (PRS). Here’s how it works:
Peer nominations
An online survey is sent to all licensed attorneys in Minnesota, inviting them to nominate colleagues across a wide range of legal practice areas—ranging from family law and personal injury to corporate, trusts and estates, appellate, and more.
Extensive participation
Thousands of attorneys submit votes, nominating peers they believe are leaders in their fields. This ensures broad and cross‑practice validation.
Independent vetting and categorization
The data is independently analyzed and categorized by PRS and Minnesota Monthly. Lawyers receiving significant nominations in each specialized area are included in the list.
Published annually
The result is a curated, annually updated list that reflects legal professionals who are highly respected by their peers statewide.
