Yes. BV is a rating for lawyers, by their 'peers'. Here are the 3 levels possible:

CV® Peer Review Rating — The CV is a good first rating for lawyers and a definitive statement of their above-average ability and unquestionable ethics. This is the maximum rating a lawyer can receive who has been admitted to the bar from 3-4 years.

BV® Peer Review Rating — The BV is an excellent rating for a lawyer with more experience. This is the maximum rating a lawyer can receive who has been admitted to the bar from 5-9 years.

AV® Peer Review Rating — An AV rating is a significant accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. A lawyer must be admitted to the bar for 10 years or more to receive an AV rating.


It seems this is a service that an attorney would subscribe to. There is not much information about it on the Martindale site. Maybe they need to pay a fee to be listed, I don't know.....z
