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.
