When an attorney receives an AV Preeminent Rating it is said to be the highest honor given and sets him or her apart from all the competition. It is given to attorneys who are ranked at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal expertise, communication skills, and ethical standards by their peers. What does all this mean and how is it calculated?
The revered rating is given by Martindale-Hubbell® which has been in existence since 1896. Their more than 1 million Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ and Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings are recognized as the gold standard in attorney ratings. Lawyers seeking to refer a client, as well as individuals researching lawyers for their own legal needs, use these ratings and reviews to identify, evaluate and select the most appropriate lawyer for their legal issue.
Today they continue to provide verified ratings for attorneys based not only on their legal ability and ethical standards as judged by their peers, but also based on reviews from their clients. While the criteria and format of the Peer Review Rating system has evolved since the 1800’s, the goal of Martindale-Hubbell ratings remains the same: to help keep the public informed when making the decision to do business with an attorney or law firm.
I’m honored to have been presented this award in the past as well as for 2021. Contact me if you are in need of a divorce lawyer whose peer rating and client review rating is important to you.
