Diane Michelle Singleton-Smith Receives Martindale-Hubbell’s® Client Distinction Award

Nov. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- Diane Singleton Smith is the founding attorney at Singleton Smith Law Offices, a divorce and family law firm located in Murrieta, California. On June 20, 2012 she was awarded the Client Distinction Award from Martindale-Hubbell® for achieving a 5.0 out of 5 client review rating. This award recognizes attorney Singleton Smith for the following qualities: quality of service, overall value, responsiveness, and communication ability.

The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are an objective indicator of an attorney’s ethical standards and their professional ability. The ratings are generated from both evaluations of lawyers and by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada.

Surveys are conducted by LexisNexis where lawyers across multiple jurisdictions in similar practice areas are asked to provide their opinion about their colleagues’ general ethical standards and their legal abilities in their area of practice. Once the results are in, the ratings are published in the Martindale-Hubbell® Law Directory, martindale.com®, Lawyers.com℠ and other sources.

The ratings reflect achieving a very high general ethical standards rating and a legal ability numeric rating. An attorney’s general ethical standards rating demonstrates a strict adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics. The legal ability rating is based on an attorney’s legal knowledge (knowledge of their area of practice), their analytical capabilities, their good judgment, their ability to communicate persuasively, and their legal experience in their area of practice.

Attorney Diane Singleton Smith earned the highest rating an attorney can receive by Martindale-Hubbell®, AV® Preeminent™ (4.5-5.0). The AV® Preeminent™ rating is a significant accomplishment for an attorney to achieve, and the AV® rating demonstrates that an attorney’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence and legal capability. As a result of attorney Singleton Smith’s AV® client review rating, Martindale-Hubbell® awarded her with the Client Distinction Award.
