Stein McGuire Partners Receive Top Peer Rating Honors
(Livingston, NJ) — Four partners from the law firm of Stein McGuire Pantages & Gigl in Livingston have received top ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, a respected company that has been providing information on and recommendations of lawyers and law firms for over 140 years.
Attorneys Robyn Gigl, Michael Martino, Ken McGuire, Jim Pantages and Jud Stein all received "AV" ratings from their peers, which means that they were deemed to have very high professional ethics and pre-eminent legal ability. Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and exceptional qualifications receive a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating
Martindale-Hubbell's exclusive Peer Review Lawyer Rating System evaluates attorneys and law firms in the U.S. and Canada with its independent peer review process. To establish a rating, Martindale-Hubbell sends confidential questionnaires to other lawyers and from judges within the same geographic location as the attorney or law firm under evaluation. Martindale-Hubbell staff also participates in the review process by conducting personal interviews with members of the bar who may be able to shed some light on the credentials of a specific attorney or law firm. Information obtained during the interviews is then combined with the geographic surveys.
"Martindale-Hubbell Ratings were created in 1887 as an objective tool that would attest to a lawyer or law firm's ability and professional ethics, based on the confidential opinions of other lawyers and judges who have worked with the lawyers they are evaluating," said Mike Walsh, senior vice president of large and national law firm markets at LexisNexis. "The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings have remained the most prestigious and widely respected lawyer rating system in the world for over a century."
