READER QUESTION:

Can you explain to me what an AV rated Decatur Alabama DWI attorney is?

THANKS FOR ASKING, SALLY.

This is an excellent question, because a lot of times people, when looking for a lawyer, will see this rating and be unsure as to whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. In most cases you can tell that it’s meant to be good, because this so-called AV rated Decatur Alabama DWI attorney is advertising, but even then you wonder if it’s legitimate.

The AV rating system is one of the best ways for lawyers to be rated. They are rated by their colleagues on the bar in their state, so a lawyer with a good rating has been judged by others who know what they’re talking about. Among other things, hiring a lawyer with an AV rating will guarantee that you are speaking with someone who has the record and the experience that is necessary in a case–but don’t just jump on a lawyer because of the rating. They still need relevant experience.
