An AV rating is a significant accomplishment and indicates that a lawyer is ranked by peers at the highest level of professional excellence.
Martindale-Hubbell ratings are the result of a peer review system that has evolved for over a century.Ratings speak to a lawyer's professional and legal ability and ethics. They reflect the opinions of members of the Bar and Judiciary. In large metropolitan areas, a lawyer usually must have been admitted to the bar for a minimum of 10 years before he or she qualifies for a Martindale-Hubbell rating.
The Martindale-Hubbell rating consists of two parts. The first is the Legal Ability Rating which takes into consideration the standard of professional ability in the area where the lawyer practices, the lawyer's expertise and other professional qualifications. A lawyer's Legal Ability is rated on the following scale:
A - Very High to Preeminent **
B - High to Very High
C - Good to High
The second part of the Martindale-Hubbell rating is the General Ethical Standards Rating. This rating indicates a lawyer's adherences to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability and diligence. There is only one General Ethical Standards Rating, which is V - Very High **
