Martindale-Hubbell Award Recognition

Kerry L. Armstrong, of The Law Offices of Kerry Armstrong, APLC, received a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Peer Rating in December 2020. The AV Preeminent Peer Rating is reserved for attorneys who demonstrate the highest ethical decision-making skills and professional aptness. According to Martindale-Hubbell, only 10% of lawyers earn this elite distinction.

Attorneys in the United States and Canada peer-review their colleagues via Martindale-Hubbell. Practicing attorneys submit reference requests to other lawyers and judges, and that rating becomes part of Martindale-Hubbell’s national database. Attorneys rate their peers in five areas: legal knowledge, analytical capabilities, judgment, communication ability, and legal experience. Lawyers and consumers across the country use the rating system to refer clients or find experts on specific legal issues. 

To earn an AV Preeminent Peer Rating, a lawyer’s peers must consistently rate him or her highly across all review areas. The distinction is widely respected across the legal field because the ratings are submitted by other members of the state bar and judiciary. Armstrong is among 62 attorneys to earn the distinction this December.

The Law Offices of Kerry Armstrong, APLC, is a criminal defense law firm based in San Diego, California. Kerry L. Armstrong, along with his associates, has been to trial more than 100 times and received not guilty verdicts for clients charged with sex crimes, assault and battery, domestic violence, and theft.
