VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Aug. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Many lawyers hope to one day be known as a "Super Lawyer" in the state in which they practice, and many lawyers work for years in the hopes of eventually attaining the highest professional rating available from Martindale-Hubbell (i.e. AV Preeminent). Not many lawyers successfully attain both accolades before the age of 40. Kevin Duffan has done just that.

Kevin, a Virginia Beach, Virginia personal injury attorney, was named a "Rising Star Super Lawyer". The "Rising Star" designation is available for lawyers who are under the age of 40 and/or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. The selection process is rigorous. An attorney-led team of researchers reviews the credentials of possible candidates and assigns points based on a set of specific criteria. The lawyers are ranked by point totals and the lawyers with the highest point totals are named to the Rising Stars list. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are named to the Rising Stars list.
The AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell is one of the most prestigious ratings a lawyer can receive. It is the highest possible rating for an attorney for both ethical standards and legal ability. This rating represents the pinnacle of professional excellence. It is achieved only after an attorney has been reviewed and recommended by their peers — members of the bar and the judiciary.
Along with the Super Lawyers and Martindale-Hubbell accolades, Kevin is steadily building an impressive reputation in the legal community as one of the best Virginia personal injury lawyers and litigators. He has been named a Top 100 Trial Attorney in Virginia (selected by the National Trial Lawyers Association, since '12) and was recognized as a Top 40 under 40 attorney in Virginia (once again, selected by the National Trial Lawyers Association, since '12).
