LexisNexis(R) Martindale-Hubbell(R) Announces 88 Lawyers Receive Peer Review Ratings Nation's Most Respected Lawyer Rating System Facilitates Evaluation of Legal Abilities and Professional Ethics of Attorneys LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell, the leading provider of client development solutions for the legal profession, today announced that 88 lawyers located throughout the U.S. have received Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings in recognition of their highly regarded legal skills and professional ethics. Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Ratings help in-house counsel and other sophisticated buyers of legal services identify, evaluate and select the most appropriate lawyer for a specific task at hand. Ratings serve as an objective indicator that a lawyer has the highest ethical standards and professional ability and are used by buyers of legal services to justify their hiring decisions. There are three possible Peer Review Ratings: CV® Peer Review Rating -- The CV is a good first rating for lawyers and a definitive statement of their above-average ability and unquestionable ethics. This is the maximum rating a lawyer can receive who has been admitted to the bar from 3-4 years. BV® Peer Review Rating -- The BV is an excellent rating for a lawyer with more experience. This is the maximum rating a lawyer can receive who has been admitted to the bar from 5-9 years. AV® Peer Review Rating -- An AV rating is a significant accomplishment -- a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. A lawyer must be admitted to the bar for 10 years or more to receive an AV rating.
