and Awards

The
law firm is rated AV by this Rating System. "A"
is the highest rating in terms of quality of legal
services and V is the highest in terms of professional
ethics. These ratings attest to a lawyer's legal
ability and professional ethics, and reflect the
confidential opinions of members of the Bar and
Judiciary.
For
over 100 years, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell
has provided the legal community with its Lawyer
Rating system, which is based exclusively on a
peer-review process. Lawyers are rated separately
on legal ability and professional ethics reflecting
the confidential opinions of the Bar and the Judiciary.
The Ratings have become a useful resource for
evaluating lawyers for hiring as outside counsel,
for referrals, or for when seeking co-counsel
in another jurisdiction.
Martindale-Hubbell's
Ratings are considered invaluable when evaluating
a lawyer. When making referrals or looking for
counsel in another jurisdiction, lawyers need
to have confidence in the individual under consideration.
By reviewing the Ratings, they can select counsel
with superior ethics, as well as the desired level
of professional experience.

Published
biennially since 1983, The Best Lawyers in America
is widely regarded as the preeminent referral
guide to the legal profession in the United States.
The Best Lawyers lists, representing 30 specialties
in all 50 states and Washington, DC, are compiled
through an exhaustive peer-review survey in which
thousands of the top lawyers in the U.S. confidentially
evaluate their professional peers. The current,
10th edition of Best Lawyers (2003-2004), is based
on more than 350,000 detailed evaluations of lawyers
by other lawyers. Because lawyers are not required
or allowed to pay a fee for a basic listing, Best
Lawyers has gained the respect of the legal profession,
the media, and clients as the most reliable, unbiased
source of legal referrals anywhere. It has received
accolades from presidents of the American Bar
Association, been frequently featured in the U.S.
media and excerpted in more than 50 major metropolitan
newspapers and magazines.
