READER QUESTION:

I have seen the phrase “AV rated Atlanta GA DUI lawyer” on a lot of advertisements. Can you tell me what that is?

Sure I can, Marjane.

The fact that a lawyer is listed as an AV rated GA DUI lawyer doesn’t tell you a lot unless it tells you what kind of AV rating they got, but just for your information, the AV rating tells you what kind of quality of attorney this person is, or at least according to their colleagues on the Georgia Bar.

An AV rating comes from many things: it is hinged on the lawyer’s experience, it includes information about how well they defend the cases they choose, it also considers their knowledge and their participation in the law community.

An AV rated Atlanta GA DUI lawyer with a good rating is the best kind of lawyer, and often has higher prices as well–because, you know, they can. This means such a lawyer may be out of your reach, and in any case if that’s true then you don’t want to bother with a lawyer with an excellent rating unless you have a very difficult case with a lot hinging on it. You would be surprised to find out how many ways there are for you to pay.
