Nicholas Coch, Sandy Lindenbaum, Gary Naftalis, Jay Neveloff, Ted Ruthizer and Paul Selver were nominated to appear in the 2006 publication of The Lawdragon 3000 Leading Lawyers in America .

According to Lawdragon, "The Lawdragon 3000 represents less than one percent of the legal profession and is the most elite group of legal professionals compiled in the country.  Lawdragon creates its guides to the best lawyers in the United States through a unique combination of online balloting and independent research. Its reporters and editors interview thousands of lawyers to get their input on the top ‘Dragons’ in any region or practice field. They also collect votes through their online ballot, which democratizes such lists, allowing lawyers who might be overlooked through traditional surveying techniques, to be identified. Those submissions are then researched and vetted by their editorial staff.  To select their guide, they survey the quality of the votes an individual receives (more weight, for instance, to the vote of a corporate counsel than to a partner in the nominee’s firm) while acknowledging the quantity of votes. Based on that combination as well as vetting of recent cases and activity, they assemble a guide that reflects geographic and practice diversity while always underscoring excellence."
