Top Lawyers

Our Top Lawyers 2026 Survey Is Now Open

You must be an attorney in the DC area to vote. This year's survey closes July 31.

Are you an attorney in DC, Maryland, or Virginia? Then you are eligible to take our 2026 Top Lawyers survey to nominate your peers. The results will appear in our December issue.

You must be an attorney licensed in this region to vote; clients cannot vote. Self-votes will not be counted, and we prefer voting that is not just for your own colleagues and partners.

The survey is open through July 31, 2026. Any questions? Feel free to email sdalphonse@washingtonian.com.

Thank you for your participation.
