*Martindale-Hubbell is the facilitator of a peer review process that rates lawyers. Ratings reflect the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell ratings fall into two categories--legal ability and general ethical standards. Legal Ability Ratings are: C--Good to High; B--High to Very High; A--Very High to Preeminent. There is one General Ethical Standard rating--"V" or "Very High"--and a lawyer must receive it in order to be rated. CV, BV, and AV are registered certification marks of Reed Elsevier Properties Inc., used in accordance with the Martindale-Hubbell certification procedure standards and policies.
