Highest Law Firm Rating
Our law firm is AV rated, which means attorneys in our firm have reached the pinnacle of their legal careers. Martindale-Hubbell, an impartial legal information agency for over 130 years, determines this rating through a system of complex scoring formulas and criteria.
How Martindale-Hubbell Determines a Law Firm's Rating
Generally, a law firm gets the rating of its highest-rated active partner. That is why the law firm of Edgar Snyder & Associates has an overall AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
Our Martindale-Hubbell Rated Attorneys:
Martindale-Hubble Rating Scale
- An AV Rating shows that a lawyer has reached the height of professional excellence. He or she has usually practiced law for many years, and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity.
- A BV Rating is an indication of an exemplary reputation and well-established practice. A typical lawyer is in mid-career, with a significant client base and high professional standing.
- A CV Rating is an excellent first Rating and a statement of a lawyer's above average ability and very high ethics.
Two components to Each Martindale-Hubbell Rating:
Legal Ability Ratings
Legal Ability Ratings take into consideration the standard of professional ability in the lawyer's practice area, the lawyer's expertise, and other professional qualifications. If a lawyer's practice is limited or specialized, ratings are based on performance in those specific fields of law.
Legal Ability Ratings are:
A - Very High to Preeminent
B - High to Very High
C - Good to High
General Ethical Standards Rating
The General Ethical Standards Rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.
The General Recommendation Rating is:
V - Very High
A lawyer will not receive a legal ability rating unless he or she has been endorsed for a "V." When both categories of ratings are confirmed, a lawyer receives an AV, BV or CV Rating.
Ratings reflect career development
A lawyer's rating will generally improve over time. But ratings can be revised downward, or even removed if a decline is noted in ability or ethical standards.
