NEW YORK , NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 20, 2007 -- LexisNexis today announced that 30 lawyers
located throughout the United States and Canada have received
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings(SM) in the last month, in
recognition of their highly regarded legal skills and professional ethics.
The Martindale-Hubbell 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. Lawyer 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.
Martindale-Hubbell® is part of the LexisNexis® Client Development
Solutions line, which provides industry leading networking and law firm
marketing resources to help firms target clients, build their brand,
develop new business opportunities, and provide exceptional client service.
Through its four solutions lines -- Client Development, Practice
Management, Litigation Services, and Research -- LexisNexis offers Total
Practice Solutions to ensure that law firms have the tools and services
they need to win in the business and practice of law.
There are three possible Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
certification ratings awarded:
CV® Peer Review Rating -- The CV rating 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 rating 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.
