The Martindale-Hubbell® AV Preeminent® rating is the peer-rated honor awarded to lawyers with superb legal ability and distinguished professional excellence. It is the highest of three awards issued by Martindale-Hubbell® and is largely dependent on the attorney’s peer reviews.
The awards issued by Martindale-Hubbell® are ranked as:
- Notable®
- Distinguished®
- AV Preeminent®
In order to receive an AV Preeminent® rating, the attorney must be nominated, reviewed, and selected based on their ethics, communication skills, professional excellence, and a variety of other qualifying characteristics. AV Preeminent® nominees must achieve not only the Notable® and Distinguished® achievement ethical and professional standards, but also exhibit legal excellence among their peers. Only 10% of attorneys listed on the Martindale-Hubbell® site are awarded the AV Preeminent® rating, and we’re proud to say that Attorney Herndon is one of them.
