Check the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory for biographical information and the professional credentials of lawyers on your list. Each lawyer also is given a rating based on his or her experience, ethics, and reputation among other lawyers. The highest rating is “AV.” The “A” stands for very high legal ability and the “V” for very high ethical recommendation. Most major libraries have the print edition of this directory. It also is available online at www.martindale.com.
