Here is information about how Attorneys are chosen for inclusion in Ten Leaders:

Members are added to Ten Leaders based on length of practice, focus of practice and out-of-firm peer referrals. All are either partial equity holders or full owners of longstanding professional practices and firms. The Ten Leaders Cooperative presents groups that are the result of lengthy, disciplined and good-faith efforts to identify professionals with records of stability, integrity and competence. Ten Leaders members do not pay to be included in Ten Leaders. The Cooperative is sustained by materials prepared and distributed on behalf of Active Members.
