Nominate candidates for The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Membership

The National Trial Lawyers is encouraging you to nominate attorneys who have exhibited outstanding leadership for the following membership:

  • Criminal Defense – Top 100
  • Civil Plaintiff – Top 100

Eligibility for Top 100:

Membership in The National Trial Lawyers is limited to the Top 100 civil plaintiff and criminal defense lawyers in each state or from highly-populated regions of states. Members of The National Trial Lawyers are encouraged to nominate their peers for membership. Prospective members are carefully screened before being invited to join. The criteria for membership include:

  • Reputation among peers, the judiciary and the public
  • Achievements, settlements and verdicts as a trial lawyer
  • Board certification as a trial lawyer
  • Nominations from leading trial lawyers, current members and Executive Committee members
  • Leadership and membership in other national and state trial lawyer organizations
  • Rankings and ratings by leading national evaluation organizations

Because the population of attorneys by state varies greatly, some states are divided into regions to recognize a comparative number of the Top 100 or Top 40 attorneys. For states with a higher population of attorneys that are divided into regions, a minimum of 7,000 attorneys must exist for each region.

Nominees must be trial lawyers actively practicing either civil plaintiff or criminal defense law. Civil defense attorneys who represent corporations or insurance companies may not be invited. Memberships  are reviewed annually to assure that the membership of The National Trial Lawyers is made up of only the finest and best trial attorneys from each state or region.  All members are automatically reconsidered for membership.

Please fill out the form below to nominate a lawyer.

Note: The nomination is confidential.
