TLD Law is proud to announce that partner Shannon Jenkins was rated “AV Preeminent†by The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™. This rating is based on peer review surveys conducted by Martindale-Hubbell. The Peer Review Ratings reflect a combination of achieving a Very High General Ethical Standards rating and a Legal Ability numerical rating. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest.) These areas are:

•     Legal Knowledge – Lawyer’s familiarity with the laws governing his/her specific area of practice(s)
•     Analytical Capabilities – Lawyer’s creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge
•     Judgment – Lawyer’s demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue
•     Communication Ability – Lawyer’s capability to communicate persuasively and credibly
•     Legal Experience – Lawyer’s degree of experience in his/her specific area of practice(s)

The numeric ratings range may coincide with the appropriate Certification Mark:

•     AV Preeminent® (4.5-5.0) – AV Preeminent® is a significant rating accomplishment – a testament to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
•     BV Distinguished® (3.0-4.4) – BV Distinguished® is an excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. A widely respected mark of achievement, it differentiates a lawyer from his or her competition.
•     Rated (1.0-2.9) – The Peer Review Rated designation demonstrates that the lawyer has met the very high criteria of General Ethical Standing.
