Dear John B. Whalen – Well done! Your NEW 2018 MARTINDALE-HUBBELL® AV Recognition is now available for your approval.

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™, the gold standard in attorney ratings, have recognized lawyers for their strong legal ability and high ethical standards for more than a century.

Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings provide the perspective of the client: Who better to describe the services and counsel that lawyers or law firms offer than those who previously retained them?

Taken together, peer review ratings and client review ratings deliver a comprehensive view of a lawyer’s legal abilities and service and benefit the entire legal community.

Pa Reviews – Heather

Professional, and full of reassurance. He is seasoned at estate law and provides much needed comic relief as well as amazing piece of mind. I thoroughly enjoyed each conversation we had and felt that he truly cared and understood his role in alleviating the stresses that build during the grieving process. He was full of much needed advice. I highly recommend his services.

2018 Martindale AV Judicial

ardmore-pa-probate-lawyers-2018-martindale-av-judicial

I’m delighted to inform you that our firm has received formal notification from Martindale-Hubbell that John B. Whalen, Jr., Esq. has received a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating™.

John B. Whalen, Jr., Esq. was given the 2018“ AV”rating from his peers, which means that he was deemed to have very high professional ethics and legal ability. Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability receive a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating.

Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings were created in 1887 as an objective tool that would attest to a lawyer’s ability and professional ethics, based on the confidential opinions of other lawyers and judges who have worked with the attorneys they are evaluating. The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings have remained the most prestigious and widely respected lawyer rating system in the world for over one hundred years.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings evaluates lawyers based on the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary, including both 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 areas of practice as the lawyer being rated. Reviewers are instructed to assess their colleagues’ general ethical standards and legal ability in a specific area of practice.

In this highly competitive environment for legal services, the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating is often one of the only means to differentiate lawyers who are otherwise very comparable in their credentials. This is important on a variety of levels – from the in-house counsel trying to determine which one of his outside law firms should be assigned a new matter to the private practice attorney seeking to refer a case to another lawyer with the appropriate expertise in a specific area of practice.

We’re very proud of this recognition from our peers. Please let me know if you have any questions about the services we provide to our clients.
