New York, NY – The editors of Worth Magazine have announced their much-anticipated list of the top 100 attorneys in the U.S. Hitting newsstands on November 4, the “100 Top Attorneys” list, now in its 2nd year, is the result of over a year’s exhaustive research by Worth’s editorial staff.

To pare down its list to 100, Worth’s staff “searched for those who can think beyond the numbers and routine of their daily work,” explained Worth Features Editor Emily DeNitto. “We wanted to know what types of strategic recommendations our nominees have made. We asked how they are responding to current trends and pivotal cases. We then examined their years of experience, time spent both behind a desk and in front of judges, as well as their thinking concerning the best and worst qualities for a lawyer in their field.”

Worth focuses on attorneys specializing in trust and estates, philanthropy, elder care, matrimonial and other private practice areas. In addition to seeking individuals with exceptional legal expertise, Worth editors looked for lawyers with great tact, discretion and stellar interpersonal skills, enabling them to explain a client’s options in the face of incredibly complicated legal and psychosocial issues. Also included in the article is a compilation of some of the nation’s best legal minds gauging today’s most troublesome topics for lawyers and their clients, including the future of the federal estate tax, equal rights for fathers, global strategies for individuals that own companies or property outside the U.S., and the non tax-related, highly personal side of estate planning.
