The Best Lawyers selection process is based on a peer review. Attorneys are nominated by their peers, and then currently recognized lawyers provide feedback on the nominees. Best Lawyers analyzes this feedback and ensures that each nominee is in good standing with their local bar associations before finalizing the results. As Best Lawyers states, "For more than 40 years, Best Lawyers has been grounded in a simple principle: the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are."
Polich expressed his gratitude for the recognition, saying, "I want to express my sincere gratitude both to Best Lawyers and all of my peers who voted for me in these categories. It's an honor to be recognized for my work in personal injury law.
