The Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating is the highest possible rating for an attorney for both ethical standards and legal ability. This rating represents the pinnacle of professional excellence. It is achieved only after an attorney has been reviewed and recommended by their peers – members of the bar and the judiciary.
Only attorneys who consistently demonstrate extraordinary legal ability and the highest ethical standards receive an AV Preeminent rating. This is an elite group, with only an estimated 5 percent of all attorneys receiving such recognition.
For our clients, and those searching for a high level of legal representation, a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating of AV Preeminent differentiates attorneys as being on a level apart from their peers in the areas of professional excellence and credibility.
In an environment where the market for legal services is highly competitive, the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating can be a vital tool for evaluating an attorney or legal firm before contracting their services. Such a privileged designation assures the client that they are choosing a legal advocate who has been rated highly by professionals who themselves possess the unique knowledge to do so—other attorneys.
