Livesay & Myers, P.C. proudly announces that seven of our attorneys have been included in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Additionally, eight lawyers from the firm are recognized in the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.
Since it was first published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States.
Under the Best Lawyers Purely Peer Review® methodology, only lawyers who were previously recognized by Best Lawyers are asked to review their peers. The process is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
Only about 5% of practicing U.S. attorneys receive the exclusive Best Lawyer distinction.
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes attorneys with fewer than 10 years in practice for professional excellence in private practice. Only about 2% of early-career attorneys in the United States receive this honor.
