Most people hope to not need them.  But, when they do, they want the good ones on their side.  To this end, New Orleans Magazine publishes an annual list of Top Lawyers; and, it, once again, named Stephen Hébert one of the top attorneys in criminal defense.  The list was prepared by Detroit-based Professional Research Services.

 

Professional Research Services provided this explanation of its methodology: The voting was open to all licensed attorneys in New Orleans. They were asked which attorney, other than themselves, they would recommend in the New Orleans area. Each attorney was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues in each given legal specialty. Once the online nominations were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license and their current standing with the State Bar Association of Louisiana. Attorneys who received the highest number of votes in each specialty are reflected in the list.

 

This will be Hébert’s eighth appearance as a Top Lawyer.  He previously appeared in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2020 and 2021.
