Martindale-Hubbell is the facilitator of a peer review process that rates lawyers.  Ratings reflect the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary.  MARTINDALE-HUBBELL™ ratings fall into two categories – legal ability and general ethical standards.

Legal Ability Ratings are:

C - Good to High
B - High to Very High
A – Very High to Preeminent

There is one general ethical standard rating – “V” or “very high.”  An attorney will not receive a Legal Ability Rating unless he or she has been endorsed for a “V.”  Only when both ratings are confirmed will an attorney receive a rating.
