When it comes to your personal injury case, every detail matters. Your case’s success largely depends on the quality of your attorney and their ability to present a strong case on your behalf. Texas personal injury attorneys at The Carlson Law Firm have received an AV® Preeminent™ Rating from Martindale-Hubbell® which is the highest recognition of its kind. This rating sets attorneys apart and distinguishes them from the competition. AV® Preeminent™ Rated attorneys “demonstrate that a lawyer has earned the highest rating available for their legal ability and professional ethics,” according to Martindale-Hubbell®, adding to this that “new clients can proceed with confidence.”
Attorneys are rated based on five characteristics: legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability and legal experience. They are then rated by their peers. This includes other attorneys and even the judiciary. Once an attorney has been rated on their demonstration of these five characteristics, the points will be tallied and each attorney will be given a score between 1 and 5. Attorneys who receive a score of 4.5 to 5.0 are considered Preeminent™.
The first characteristic, legal knowledge, refers to how much the attorney knows about their particular area of practice. “Analytical capabilities” speak to an attorney’s ability to creatively apply the law to many different situations and legal issues. Possessing a high rating for judgment means that a lawyer has demonstrated on a consistent basis that they can use their legal abilities to drive the outcome of a case. Communication ability is another characteristic that attorneys are evaluated on. Lawyers who possess a high communication ability rating are considered incredibly persuasive. Finally, legal experience refers to the volume of personal injury cases an attorney has handled as well as years in practice. Attorneys from our firm have been evaluated on the basis of all these characteristics and have come out on top.
The purpose of peer review ratings is to help injury victims choose the most qualified attorney for the job. Although all AV® numeric ratings indicate that an attorney has met high criteria of excellence, only the AV® Preeminent™ Rated attorneys can say that they have met the absolute highest level of professional excellence. The excellence that our attorneys exhibit is comprehensive and can affect all aspects of your case. This high rating should assure you of the high quality and professionalism that is so integral to our firm’s practice. If you were injured in an accident, you can trust a Texas personal injury lawyer at The Carlson Law Firm.
