Reader Rankings 2018 – Publisher’s Letter

Listen to this article

Dear Readers,

As a reader of our website and publications, you know we make it our mission to consistently honor the exceptional work of Missouri attorneys.

Through our Missouri Lawyers Awards, our Women’s Justice Awards or our new ICON Awards program launched earlier in 2018, it’s our privilege each year to recognize scores of deserving honorees from across the state.

Now for the second year, we bring you a program that tweaks our traditional concept while still complementing our suite of honor awards.

Welcome to the 2018 Reader Rankings for Missouri Lawyers Media. Rather than celebrating individuals, these awards celebrate the businesses and organizations that support you — every day — in your lawyering needs.

And who better to decide the top businesses by each category than you – our readers, with your singular experience? Whether it involves forensic accounting or malpractice insurance, you know who does it the best.

And you told us, choosing your favorite providers of financial, firm-management, technology and other essential services that enhance your work, as well as hospitality, recreation and legal education. No doubt you found that we’ve expanded and refined our categories this year to better reflect your feedback and your day-to-day needs.

You voted on your laptops, desktops and phones from Joplin to Jefferson City and from Springfield to St. Charles.

All we did was compile and present the results you’ll find here in this section.

You’re a discriminating lot, so these businesses will be proud to brag about receiving this honor. As well they should.

The top companies represented in each of the categories help you in your work across the spectrum of your lawyering. Some have been around for many years, offering stellar services. Some are newcomers but already show you great promise.

We thank you for your support in making the decisions on the winners of the 2018 Reader Rankings.

And we’re certain the businesses you selected in the top spots appreciate your support every day.

Sincerely,

Liz Irwin
