READER QUESTION:

I see the phrase AV rated Kent Washington DUI lawyer a lot. What does this mean, that the lawyer has an AV rating?

GLAD YOU ASKED.

An AV rating is simply that–a rating, and just because you see an AV rated Kent Washington DUI lawyer doesn’t mean you should jump immediately into their client pool, as these ratings can be both good and bad.

AV ratings are a system of ratings that are determined by lawyers to rate other lawyes, so someone who is AV rated has been judged by the law community. There are many things which may influence an AV rating, but the most important ones are a lawyer’s type and level of experience, and how good they are at defending their clients.

Typically, the highest rated AV rated Kent Washington DUI lawyer will also have high prices, since, well, they can. Because of this, you should probably only hire one if you have a ton of money or in very bad circumstances. Even so, there are many ways that an expensive attorney might be able to help you pay out what you owe.
