All of our partners, Brian H. Breedlove, John H. Pennock, Jr. and Carrie McLoughlin Noll, have been awarded the AV rating (the highest rating available) by Martindale-Hubbell. The AV rating is a profound accomplishment and demonstrates that a lawyer's peers in the legal community recognize that the lawyer has the highest level of skill and maintains the strict ethical standards in the practice. For a lawyer, it is the mark of excellence.

The rating system has been developed by Martindale-Hubbell over more than 100 years. The information that support these ratings is provided by members of the bar and the judiciary. The "A" rating means the lawyer possesses professional skills that are "very high to pre-eminent". The "V" portion of the rating means that the lawyer adheres to the highest professional standards of conduct and ethics.

All of the lawyers at Pennock, Breedlove & Noll are proud of this AV rating.
