Calloway And Frost is pleased to share that attorneys from the firm have been recognized in the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in America, an honor that reflects the firm's continued commitment to client service, professional excellence, and the highest standards of legal practice. Inclusion in this respected publication places our recognized attorneys among a select group of peers acknowledged by the broader legal community.
The 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in America honors the top 5% of attorneys practicing across the United States. In total, 27,241 lawyers from 2,488 firms received recognition, spanning 79 practice areas and 199 geographic regions. The scope of this year's edition underscores the depth and diversity of legal talent across the country and provides clients with a comprehensive resource for identifying qualified counsel in a wide range of matters.
Major legal markets continue to demonstrate a strong concentration of highly regarded practitioners. Washington, D.C. leads all markets in the 2026 edition with 4,148 honorees, followed by New York City with 3,889. These figures reflect the enduring importance of these hubs as centers of sophisticated legal work, while the broader distribution across 199 regions highlights the presence of accomplished attorneys in communities throughout the nation.
What distinguishes Best Lawyers is its reliance on rigorous peer review. Attorneys are evaluated by their colleagues within the same practice areas and geographic regions, providing an independent benchmark of professional quality. For clients selecting counsel, this peer-endorsed methodology offers a meaningful signal beyond marketing or self-reporting, helping them make informed decisions when the stakes are significant and the choice of representation matters.
For Calloway And Frost, this recognition is a reflection not only of the individual attorneys honored but also of the collaborative culture that supports their work. Our team remains dedicated to delivering thoughtful, results-oriented representation across the practice areas we serve, and we are grateful for the trust that clients continue to place in the firm. Recognition of this kind reinforces our commitment to maintaining the standards that clients expect and deserve.
