It is important to find an attorney that specializes in this area and has successfully handled many cases of this type. Most, but not all, of those attorneys will be AV rated. You can also look for qualified attorneys in your area by visiting www.BestLawyers.com, www.Superlawyers.com, www.abota.com, and www.actl.com. I review all of the lists of lawyers who handle these claims and interview several prior to deciding which one to retain.

The short answer to your question is yes. Making sure that the lawyer you choose has a Martindale-Hubbell rating of AV is one tool that you can use to be sure that your lawyer has the experience, reputation, and ethics that you would want. Malpractice cases are hard to win even if you have a good case. The better the lawyer, the better your chances will be. Best of luck.
