D Magazine based its selection of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas 2011” on an extensive peer review process. The editors of D Magazine mailed a letter to 8,800 local lawyers inviting them to nominate up to three lawyers from their practice specialty, one from their own firm, and up to two from an outside firm. Self-nominations were excluded, and votes for in-house colleagues were given less weight. D Magazine asked lawyers to base their selections on personal experience with their nominees. Approximately 1,400 lawyers voted using a secure online ballot, and D Magazine presented the tallied results to an anonymous panel of lawyers for review and evaluation. The 372 finalists were ultimately selected by the panel and the D Magazine editorial staff based on the final number of votes in each of the 18 specialties.
