How are the Boston, MA car accident lawyers on this page ranked?
By a 100-point score built from Google's "car accident lawyer" search results in Boston, MA. Half comes from each firm's position in the Google Maps results for that search (a firm that doesn't appear counts as position 21); half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. No firm can pay to change its rank.
