The AV rating is a peer review rating that is ranked from A to C. From C meaning that a lawyer is rated as fair in their legal abilities to A being very high in their legal abilities. The V in the rating means that the lawyer has also been rated by peers as having very high ethical standards. The combined AV rating only goes to those who have achieved the highest level of both legal and ethical skill in the eyes of their peers.

The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 is an invitation only organization that comprises of premier trial lawyers from each region who meet the strict qualifications as a civil plaintiff or criminal defense trial lawyer. Selection and membership is an extensive process that is only awarded to those who show high levels of leadership, reputation, and stature measured by standards in compliance with state bar and national Rule 4-7.

Florida Trends: Florida’s Legal Elite is an honor that only goes to the top 1.3% of lawyers in the state. Recipients are chosen by in-state members of the Florida bar who nominate practicing lawyers based on peer recognition. The list of nominees is then reviewed by a panel of past honorees who select only those with the highest levels of peer recognition.

For a firm to receive the “Best Law Firms” rating the firm must have a lawyer who has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America List, which is given to only 5% of the practicing lawyers in the United States. The firm must then be recognized for its high levels of professional excellence and high ratings from both peers and clients.

Best Attorney’s in America is a way to recognize attorneys who achieved high levels of professional reputation. Only those who meet the strict qualifications to receive this extremely selective invitation can receive this award.

YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE

We Know What Matters To Tallahassee Because We Are Tallahassee Attorneys.

When there is too much at stake on your case, you need a team of local legal experts to advocate for you and your loved ones.

There are so many law firms that you can choose from today. On every street corner and billboard, there is another law firm marketing itself to you. At Brooks LeBoeuf, we do not advertise a lot because, quite frankly, we do not need to. Most of our clients come from referrals, word of mouth, and former clients. Additionally, we receive many referrals from doctors, lawyers, judges, and claims adjusters; people who work in and around the justice system. They know the challenges associated with litigating a case and who has the necessary skills to provide the legal service needed for their friend or loved one to prevail. This is one of the ways we are different from other attorneys in Tallahassee.

This is an important distinction, because any law firm in Tallahassee can make a commercial and advertise their services. But not every law firm can take pride in the exceptional care, skill, and attention that is given to each of their clients. At Brooks LeBoeuf our lawyers, paralegals, and supporting staff are here because it is their passion to serve the people of Tallahassee. It is their calling! As such, we treat our clients like family. Our goal for each client is to work as a team and bring our 150 years of combined legal experience to the table to help achieve the very best results in each individual case.

Our team is committed to serving our clients in the best way possible, as a result, at Brooks LeBoeuf we do not take every case that comes through our door. If we do not believe in your case, we will not take it and we will tell you why. However, when we do accept a case, we will be attentive and passionate about it. When clients need our services, we recognize that they are under a lot of stress. They are putting a lot of faith and trust in us, and we do not take that lightly. If you need an attorney, please do not make your selection based on a television commercial. Make a wise choice like the lawyers, judges, doctors and claims adjusters who have hired Brooks LeBoeuf. When it comes to your serious legal matters, you have Too Much At Stake to hire anyone else.

Client Testimonials

Our Clients say it best!

“I will always remember this and his professionalism”

Dean Leboeuf represented me a long time ago and consulted that I only needed a public defender. He took the time to come to the court room and let the judge know that I was seeking other counsel. He did not charge me for this. I will always remember this and D. Wu

I do know that I won’t have to struggle financially and for that I will always be grateful to you and your hard work.

When there was “too much at stake” Mr. LeBoeuf was certainly there for me. He is empathetic, competent, insightful, wise, and for me literally “a lawyer’s lawyer”. His guidance, analysis, personal support, practice and professionalism are best-in-category. I will be forever grateful for his objective and always-courteous service to me as his client. His comprehensive vision of the entire matter, as well as his honorable advice and presentations, were instrumental in the circumstances and in clarifying the resolution of the matter. One could not ask for more or better legal services. He is a consummate and reliable professional, and a genuinely good person, who understands and accomplishes fairness.
