Primerus is an international network of top-rated, independent law firms that have earned the right to display the Primerus seal of quality. Candidates for membership must have the maximum Av rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the source lawyers use to find other lawyers. Further, a law firm must submit to a rigorous evaluation which includes candid assessments from judges, fellow lawyers, current and former clients, bar associations, and malpractice insurance carriers. Firms must also show proof of their commitment to the exacting standards of the Six Pillars of Primerus quality: Integrity, Excellent Work Product, Reasonable Fees, Continuing Legal Education, Civility, and Community Service. And it doesn't end there. Primerus firms are audited annually to ensure they continue to be the "best of the best," year after year.

Together, Primerus law firms can be looked upon as one of the nation's largest law firms with scores of specialties and offices from coast to coast. For corporate clients, this nationwide scope simplifies the process of finding great lawyers in multiple jurisdictions. Because of their knowledge of the personal and professional qualifications of fellow members, Primerus defense attorneys are able to refer corporate clients to other Primerus attorneys with confidence. No fees are involved; referrals are simply an added benefit of doing business with a Primerus law firm.

Working with independent, small to medium-size firms offers other advantages as well. Clients have ongoing access to senior partners offering depth of knowledge, years of experience, responsive service, a commitment to excellence, and reasonable fees.

After a decade of researching the nation's best independent law firms, Primerus knows where and how to find them. Search our online database or call us at 800-968-2211 to find a highly qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
