Martindale-Hubbell

Martindale-​Hubbell site is totally unreliable, discredited site and you should not go by their rating system. Basically it is a dishonest scheme to only allow positive reviews be posted for their well paying attorney customers.
I have been misrepresented and tried to post a review. They have not posted my negative review of my lawyer, nor have they contacted me.
I have only learned a few weeks later that they invalidate such reviews for any reason, then if you try to resubmit another one they will invalidate based on fact that they allow only 1 review per 12 months. What a joke it is really. I have contacted Petty there and really felt like being scammed myself. And guess what — my lawyer was their customer…
Avoid at all costs. Even attorneys review it in similiiar fashion. Money making scheme, no credibility whatsoever…

SOMEONE PLEASE INSERT FUNNY LAWYER JOKE HERE :)
If you’re looking for a good attorney, you should start by asking your friends and family members for recommendations. If your friends are all law-​abiding, happily married individuals who have never been in auto accidents or slipped at the mall, you might need to do some research on your own.
You never know when you’ll need an attorney, even for document review, contract drafting, or estate plan preparation. Not all attorneys are for litigation. Martindale Hubbell is a great resource for finding a lawyer. It’s also a very popular site for firms of varying sizes to advertise and list themselves in the legal directory. Our firm can be found in here!
MH is a part of Lexis Nexis. Matthew Bender is another division of Lexis Nexis. Noticing a credit on our MH account, and owing a small amount on the Bender one, I called customer service this afternoon to figuring out if I could apply one to the other. Lonnie on the phone told me to fax her and provided me with the information required. She said she would directly handle this and make sure my request was sent to the appropriate person in A/​R. Thank you for making my life a little easier today!
Now for the lawyer joke:
A new client had just come in to see a famous lawyer.
«Can you tell me how much you charge?», said the client.
«Of course», the lawyer replied, «I charge $ 200 to answer three questions!»
«Well that’s a bit steep, isn’t it?»
«Yes it is», said the lawyer, «And what’s your third question?»

My small law office contracted with Lexis-​Nexis /​Martindale-​Hubbell to build us a website, optimize the website, and help us with overall marketing. Having had to deal with these companies over the past two years, I would never recommend or again use Lexis-​Nexis /​Martindale – Hubbell. Their sales team is very good at selling. However, the tech support and customer support (Joanna, Barbara, etc.) are rude, slow, and inefficient. They tell you one thing and then do another. If you are a smaller law office — beware — they’ll sell you a contract for services and then not uphold their end of the contract.

Martindale-​Hubbell is LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
In my past life of adult times I’ve very often utilized their tool of lawyer search. I’ve find Martindale-​Hubbell resourceful and mostly current for the pressing important details: location of an attorney’s registered U.S. state license; undergraduate; law school (both J.D. and LL.M.) educations including year of graduation; year of admittance for practice; and ISLN.
The dossier of legal experience either private or firm practice are certainly no mystery to clients which is vital in hiring John Doe, Esquire of any legal genre of practice! There are also pressing resources for New York State attorneys of how to attain their obligated C.L.E. requirements, which is vital to upholding a law license enabling continual practice of the craft.
