Brett A. Christiansen, Managing Attorney of The Christiansen Law Firm in Galveston, Texas, has once again been honored with the AV® Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell for 2025 — marking his 8th consecutive year receiving this prestigious distinction.
The AV® Preeminent Rating is the highest possible rating awarded by Martindale-Hubbell, the nation’s oldest and most respected attorney rating service. The rating is based entirely on evaluations submitted by fellow attorneys and judges, measuring two core pillars of professional excellence:
- Legal Ability – demonstrating mastery of the law, analytical capability, judgment, communication skills, and experience.
- Ethical Standards – reflecting outstanding integrity, professionalism, and adherence to the highest ethical principles.
Achieving an AV® rating is significant on its own — earning it year after year underscores a long-standing reputation for excellence, trust, and consistency within the legal community.
