Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ displays ratings given by individuals who have either engaged or consulted with attorneys or law firms.
The customer rating value is determined by aggregating validated responses. People who leave reviews are either people who have consulted with or hired the attorney/law firm and want to share their experiences with that attorney or law firm with other potential clients. Evaluators can be anyone who consults or hires an attorney, including in-house counsel, corporate directors, small business owners, and individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell confirms that a reviewer is someone with a valid email address. As part of the verification process, respondents must confirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently, or have been a client of the identified attorney or law firm, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the attorney-client relationship, as is often the case case is confidential. The content of the answers comes exclusively from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar result and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell customer reviews, visit our customer reviews page
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard for legal ratings and have been for more than a century. These ratings identify attorneys who are highly respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a particular area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard because of its objectivity and completeness. The attorneys used for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and attorneys independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All appraisers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only lawyers who have practiced for at least three years and have received a sufficient number of reviews from independent lawyers are eligible for a review.
What are the various Martindale-Hubbell peer-reviewed ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating means that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rate him or her at the highest level of professional excellence based on their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Excellent: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating shows that the lawyer is highly regarded by his peers for his high professional standards and ethical standards.
• Remarkable: This rating shows that the lawyer is recognized by many of his peers for his high ethical standards.
Lawyers who received peer reviews after 2009 will see more detailed information including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numerical ratings and written feedback (if available). Details of individual reviews received prior to 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys who receive reviews from their peers, but not enough to produce a Martindale Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will display those reviews on our websites.
