On top of earning the high distinction as Best in Category for Pet Services, the Zoom Room was also ranked #3 on a list of the Top 50 Franchises, in all categories, in the nation with under 50 units. Now in its seventh year, the “FBR50” is the only awards program to look at actual franchisee satisfaction data and rank companies through these specific criteria. Based on a survey of more than 22,000 franchisees representing more than 300 franchise brands, the 2012 award winners represent a variety of franchise concepts and industries.

About the U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings. An unprecedented amount of data was collected in the project’s second year. The U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process.
Law firm clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Lawyers voted on expertise, responsiveness, integrity, cost-effectiveness, whether they would refer a matter to a firm, and whether they consider a firm a worthy competitor. These reputational survey responses were combined with more than 3.9 million evaluations of 41,284 individual leading lawyers collected by Best Lawyers® in its most recent annual survey of leading lawyers.
All of the quantitative and qualitative data were combined into an overall “Best Law Firms” score for each firm. This data was then compared to other firms within the same metropolitan area and at the national level. Because firms were often separated by small or insignificant differences in overall score, a tiering system was used rather than ranking law firms sequentially. The first tier includes those firms that scored within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firms.
