Award: Louisville Magazine's Top Lawyer list

The following article is from Louisville Magazine, March 2008: To compile this year's roster of top Louisville Lawyers we invited Martindale-Hubbell, the company that has long set the standard for peer-reviewed ratings, to share their list of local attorneys who have reached the highest level of professional excellence.

For more than a century, lawyers have relied on the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory as a guide to the worldwide legal profession. Thousands of people use the dirctory every tday to find local attorneys, validate their credentials and select firms that provide services for their personal and professinal legal needs, The Martindale-Hubbell Legal Network is powered by a database of over one million lawyers and law firms in more than 160 countries.

Martindale-Hubbell's trademarked Peer Review Ratings were used to select T. Wesley Faulkner as one of Louisville's best. To create the list of top Louisville Lawyers, LexisNexis tapped its comprehensive database of Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rated attorneys to identify those who have been rated by their peers as both highly ethical and preeminent in their legal abilities. The list reflects attorneys who have received an "AV" rating - the hightest Peer Review Rating available.

Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings are driven by lawyers and members of the judiciary who receive invitations from Martindale-Hubbell, in electronic, "eConfidential" form or via the mail, to provide reviews on a lawyer or lawyers of whom they have personal knowledge. Peer Review Rated attorneys are not required to have a paid listing in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory to be rated. These ratings reflect the confidential opinions of members of the bar and judiciary.
