WEST CHESTER, PA. FEBRUARY 9, 2015—MacElree Harvey, Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has been named one of the Top Legal Firms in the United States by Martindale-Hubbell®.
According their website, “Martindale-Hubbell® was asked to research their comprehensive database of over 1.2 million lawyers and firms in over 160 countries and identify U.S. law firms of 10 or more attorneys, where at least one out of three of their lawyers achieved the AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rating. This rating indicates the rated lawyer has been deemed by his or her peers to demonstrate the highest level of ethical standards and legal ability.”
Fourteen MacElree Harvey attorneys have received an AV® Preeminent Rating with Martindale-Hubbell®. For over 140 years Martindale has been the foremost legal resource for lawyers and clients. According to them, this rating “is the highest rating possible, and is a testament to the fact that a lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings are an objective indicator of a lawyer’s high ethical standards and professional ability, generated from evaluations of lawyers by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada.”
While this recognition is an acknowledgment of MacElree Harvey’s pledge to always practice with Initiative, it’s more so evidence of their client’s support according to Partner Harry DiDonato, Esq.
“Being named one of the top legal firms in the United States is a great honor for MacElree Harvey, however, we are only able to be recognized for such an accomplishment because of the loyalty and support of our clients. We are looking forward to a bright future as we continue to grow and add talented attorneys to the MacElree Harvey team.”
A bright future, indeed. Earlier this year, MacElree Harvey was named one of Pennsylvania’s Largest Law Firms by ALM and the Legal Intelligencer. While more than 250,000 law firms were considered, less than 2,500 firms were named to Martindale’s Top Ranked list.
To create their list, LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® tapped its comprehensive database of Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ to identify lawyers who have been rated by their peers to be AV® Preeminent™. Peer Review Ratings are driven by the confidential opinions of lawyers and members of the judiciary who provide reviews of lawyers about whom they have professional knowledge.
Printed annually in Fortune Magazine, Forbes Magazine, The American Lawyer, and The Wall Street Journal, the list can be found online at www.Martindale.com, law.com and CNNMoney.com.
