Martindale-Hubbell has recognized Belkis Plata and Schott Schott with a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating™. Belkis Plata and Schott Schott were given an AV rating from their peers, which means that they were deemed to have very high professional ethics and preeminent legal ability.
Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability receive a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating. The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings evaluates lawyers based on the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary, including those who are rated and those who are not. The first review to establish a lawyer's rating usually occurs three years after his/her first admission to the Bar. Martindale-Hubbell conducts secure online Peer Review Ratings surveys of lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations in similar practice areas as the lawyer being rated.
Reviewers are instructed to assess their colleagues' general ethical standards and legal ability in a specific practice area. The confidentiality, objectivity, and complete independence of the rating process have made the program a unique and credible evaluation tool for members of the legal profession. The legal community values the accuracy of lawyer peer review ratings because they are determined by their peers – the people who are best suited to assess the legal ability and professional ethics of their colleagues.
