To compile the list of the city's top lawyers, H Texas solicited nominations from Houston-area attorneys, as well as legal clients and the magazine's subscribers. Voters were asked to nominate attorneys whose work they know firsthand, including firm colleagues, co-counsel, lawyers they had observed in court, and opposing counsel. An outside firm tabulated the ballots and an executive panel finalized the list.
