    Over the past 35 years, Adams Law Firm has gained much recognition and respect from its colleagues and peers in the area of family law. As an individual seeking divorce, when you hire a lawyer rated AV Preeminent® by Martindale-Hubbell®, you’ve hired someone recognized by their peers and the judiciary as being excellent at what they do. According to Martindale-Hubbell® – the nationally renowned lawyer-rating service – AV Preeminent® is a significant rating accomplishment and a testament to the fact that the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.

    What is an AV® Rating by Martindale-Hubbell®?

    The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are an objective indicator of a lawyer’s high ethical standards and professional ability. Lawyers’ evaluations are conducted by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada. Reviewers are asked to assess their colleagues’ general ethical standards and legal ability in a specific area of practice. LexisNexis facilitates secure online Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ surveys of lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations who are in similar areas of practice as the lawyer being rated.

    Additionally, Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ reflect a combination of achieving a very high general ethical standards rating and a legal ability numerical rating. A specific number of responses is required to achieve a rating. Legal ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas:

    • Legal Knowledge – lawyer’s familiarity with the laws governing his / her specific area(s) of practice
    • Analytical Capabilities – lawyer’s creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge
    • Judgment – lawyer’s demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue
    • Communication Ability – lawyer’s capability to communicate persuasively and credibly
    • Legal Experience – lawyer’s degree of experience in his / her specific area(s) of practice
