Agin Schmidt said the award is a highly desired credential in the legal world. The rating once functioned as a secret "first screen" for attorneys when hiring lawyers to their firm who they didn't know personally. Now, she says, clients can also see these ratings online to help them screen and select top attorneys to represent them.
She expressed appreciation and pride in receiving the recognition:
"I am thankful to my peers who nominated me for this distinction, and proud to have earned this, the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell rating."
Agin Schmidt consistently receives praise and awards for her work as a criminal defense litigator. Among her many distinctions, she has been recognized as one of "200 Minnesotans You Should Know," a "Top 100 Women Super Lawyer," and one of the "Top 40 MN Criminal Lawyers" by Twin Cities publications. The National Trial Lawyers Association has also named her one of the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers." She is the founder of the Law Office of Carolyn Agin Schmidt, based in Minneapolis. Her practice focuses on providing excellent criminal defense with compassion and care. Since 1990 she has successfully defended clients at both the state and federal levels.
