AV-Rated

AV Rated Preeminent Attorney
Paul Gertz has received an AV Peer Review Rating of AV Preeminent 5.0 out of 5.0 (the highest possible rating based on legal ability and ethical standards) from Martindale-Hubbell. An AV certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment – a testament to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. Martindale-Hubbell evaluates lawyers in the United States and Canada based on the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary. It is a significant accomplishment and Paul Gertz is honored to have this title. Martindale-Hubbell, which has been in business for more than 130 years, is the most widely consulted legal reference source by attorneys and other professionals.

The Components of a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating

Martindale-Hubbell ratings are determined by attorneys for attorneys through a peer review process and have several components, including the Legal Ability Rating and the General Ethical Standards Rating. The Legal Ability rating evaluates an attorney’s standard of professional ability in their practice area. The General Ethical Standards Rating is an indication of an attorney’s standard of conduct and ethics. The only rating available is a “V,” which stands for “very high.” An attorney must receive this General Ethical Standards Rating in order to receive a Legal Ability Rating.

Legal Ability Ratings

Based on peer reviews, three ratings are available for a lawyer’s stand of professional ability. An “A” is given if an attorney is deemed to have “very high to preeminent” legal ability. The“B” designates an attorney who is deemed to have “high to very high” legal ability, and a “C” is given if an attorney is deemed to have “good to high” legal ability. An attorney must be a member of the Bar for at least 10 years to be eligible for an AV Rating.
