Adoption Law Firm Awards & Recognition

The Martindale-Hubbell listing service (publisher of the Lawyers.com website) rates attorneys throughout the United States. For 15 consecutive years Martindale-Hubbell has awarded Doug Donnelly their highest possible rating, “AV,” which is awarded to fewer than 3% of all practicing attorneys.

These ratings are based upon confidential peer reviews, and an “AV” rating is awarded only to those attorneys who are considered to have “from very high to preeminent” legal ability.

Martindale-Hubbell has also awarded Mr. Donnelly the “Client Distinction Award” which is based upon client ratings, and is awarded to less than 1% of the over 900,000 attorneys rated. This award is based upon client ratings of the attorney’s “Communications Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and Value for Money.”

The Better Business Bureau has awarded the Adoption Law Firm with an “A+ Rating”. This is the highest possible rating given to a business practice.

Super Lawyers is an organization of legal peers that conducts independent research that identifies outstanding lawyers based on reputation and credibility. Only 5% of attorneys in each state are selected as Super Lawyers.

Being rated by Super Lawyers is significant for a law firm for several reasons:

1. Recognition of Excellence: It is a prestigious honor that recognizes the firm’s top attorneys for their outstanding legal skills, professional achievements, and ethical conduct.
2. Client Confidence: Super Lawyers ratings can help clients identify experienced and reputable attorneys. It can instill confidence in potential clients that they are choosing a firm with highly skilled professionals.
3. Referrals and Networking: Being listed in Super Lawyers can lead to increased referrals from other attorneys, clients, and the general public. It can also expand the firm’s network and opportunities for collaboration.
4. Marketing and Branding: Super Lawyers ratings can be used as a marketing tool to differentiate the firm from competitors and enhance its brand reputation.
5. Recruitment and Retention: A firm with Super Lawyers-rated attorneys can attract top legal talent and improve employee satisfaction and retention.

The Adoption Law Firm of Donnelly & Evans considers being rated by Super Lawyers a valuable achievement that helps certify our commitment to excellence.
