Alabama Tort Law, authored by Michael L. Roberts

"Alabama Tort Law and its annual update should be on the desk of every lawyer who practices tort law in Alabama. It is the best reference available on Alabama tort law and will more than pay for itself the first time you use it."—Professor Steve Emens, University of Alabama School of Law.

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.

Super Lawyers magazine names attorneys in each state who received the highest point totals, as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law & Politics. Rising Stars names the state's top up-and-coming attorneys.

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.
