Dear Attorney:

Worth will run a feature in December-January on the top lawyers serving affluent individuals' personal and family needs. The following questionnaire is for those attorneys who would like to be considered for the list. You must fill out the form to be considered, even if someone has nominated you.

Please take as much space as you need to fill it out as completely as possible. Unless otherwise specified, all questions refer to you as an individual, not to your firm. You may be contacted by Worth later for follow-up information.

Please note: All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.

The deadline for submission is Monday, August 4.

Any questions or comments can be sent in an email to topattorneys@worth.com.

Due to the volume of submissions, we ask that you not contact us to check whether we have received your submission. We will contact you if we require further information. Thank you for your interest in Worth's Top Attorneys list.

Best regards,

The Editors
