AV Preeminent Rated is the highest rating available to an attorney, giving high marks for both skill and ethics.

The Martindale-Hubbell® Law Directory has provided professional information on the legal profession for more than 100 years. Clients seeking an attorney often rely on this directory when evaluating a lawyer’s legal ability and professional ethics because the rating reflects the opinions of members of the Bar and Judiciary.

The rating are taken from the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell personally interviews peers when reviewing an attorney and publishes the consensus opinion.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review uses two ratings:

• General Ethical Standards for “adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.” A lawyer must receive a General Ethical Standards Rating before his or her review can proceed to the next step.
• Legal Ability Ratings which evaluate “the area where the lawyer practices, the lawyer’s expertise, and other professional qualifications.”

When both categories of Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings are confirmed, a lawyer receives an CV®, BV® or AV® rating, with AV being the highest available.
