SJBT is AV rated in all of its practice areas, the highest rating available for any law firm. In addition, all rated lawyers have received an AV rating, and all of the firm's senior partners are board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in their respective practice areas.

Legal Ability Ratings take into consideration the standard of professional ability in the area where the lawyer practices, their expertise, and their qualifications in certain other areas. Legal Ability Ratings are:

C - Good to High
B - High to Very High
A - Very High to Preeminent

The General Ethical Standards Rating "V" denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct, ethics, diligence and relevant criteria relating to professional responsibilities. A lawyer will not receive a Legal Ability Rating unless they have been endorsed for a "V" rating.
