5 Publisher s Note Table of Contents Welcome to the results of The Legal Intelligencer s fourth annual Best Of poll where our readers have cast their votes for the best providers of products and services to the legal community. The survey was conducted in August, and was sent via to readers of The Legal Intelligencer. The ballot consisted of over 50 categories encompassing legal support, business, and lifestyle products and services. Hundreds of our readers took the time to participate and voted not only for the companies listed in the survey, but added a significant amount of write-ins as well. We thank everyone that participated in the survey. Your choices for The Best Of 2013 are reflected on the pages that follow, with a listing of the top three vote getters in each category. If you do not see your favorite firm listed this year, please make sure to vote next year. We will continue to work on ways to improve this program and we welcome any feedback.
