True. Beware of regional periodicals, like Best Lawyers in _______, or Who's Who. The attorneys, selected to appear as the best in their fields, are only there because they've paid money. These periodicals suggest that they were selected by merit. But the truth is that they have to pay to be included. That's not to say that they aren't competent, but you have to beware of the selection process.,


Does that include that SuperLawyers publication ??


Not sure about SuperLawyers, but I think that is also something one can buy. I get calls every year from these various publications, Who's Who etc/. to get listed. Some of them even have different rates.. i.e. you can be one of the best lawyers in your metro area for one price, the State for another, the region for another and Nationally for another. Also you can pay for longer articles , prominent placement.. you name it. It is a total scam.
