Local Lawyer Gets High Ranking
The rating is the highest possible standard for an attorney for both ethical standards and legal ability.

Attorney Gary W. SmithΒ of Tucker has again earned an AV Preeminent Rating, Martindale-Hubbell's highest standard for both ethical standards and legal ability, according to Digital Journal.
Smith, who first achieved the rating in 1987,Β commented: "(It) is a credential highly valued and sought after in the legal world. It used to be a sort of secret among attorneys who used the rating as a first screen when they needed to hire a lawyer they did not personally know. Now, thanks to the Internet, the rating is a great way for anyone β lawyers or laypeople - to use to screen lawyers."
AΒ native ofΒ Atlanta, Smith is the senior attorney and founder of Attorneys at LawSmith. For over 30 years he has helped injured people in Tucker, Clarkston, and other local communities get compensation from insurance companies.
