Rating Explanation

Martindale-Hubbell® provides three levels of peer rating:

1. A CV® rating is given to attorneys who have been in the bar for three to four years. It indicates the attorney is “above-average” and has unquestionable ethics.

2. A BV® rating is given to attorneys with a significant track record and who have been in the bar for at least five years.

3. A AV® rating is the highest an attorney can receive. To obtain this rating, an attorney must have been in the bar for at least 10 years. This rating indicates that an attorney’s colleagues and the judiciary perceive him/her to be at the pinnacle of professionalism and ethics.
