Professional Recognition

We have more attorneys listed in Best Lawyers in America than any other firm in New Mexico. Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, compiles lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. Because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be included, a listing in Best Lawyers is widely regarded within the legal profession as a signal honor, conferred on a lawyer by his or her peers.

For over a century, lawyers have relied on the Martindale Hubbell Law Directory for authoritative information on the worldwide legal profession. Martindale's Peer Review Ratings play an integral role in this service to the legal community. Buyers of legal services, as well as those making referrals, consider Peer Review Ratings invaluable when evaluating a lawyer. Peer Review Ratings attest to a lawyer's legal ability and professional ethics, and reflect the confidential opinions of members of the Bar and Judiciary. Our attorneys consistently receive top ratings from Martindale-Hubbell.

In 2007, Chambers USA Guide to America's Leading Business Lawyers, ranks Rodey #1 in New Mexico for corporate and commercial work, general commercial litigation and real estate. Thirteen individual lawyers are singled out for their expertise and experience in these fields.

Our excellence, expertise and experience are recognized by the organizations of which we are members. Drawing its members from the best law firms throughout the world, Lex Mundi, an international consortium of independent law firms, invited Rodey to join in 1989. As a charter member and the only New Mexico member, we have enjoyed an uninterrupted association with this highly esteemed organization.

The Harmonie Group is a North American network of independent law firms offering expertise in serving insurance companies, risk retention groups, self insureds and insureds. The Rodey Law Firm, New Mexico's member, has been a part of the Harmonie Group since 1995.

The outstanding quality of Rodey attorneys is recognized by professional organizations including the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, the American College of Mortgage Attorneys, the American College of Trial Lawyers, the American College of Real Estate Attorneys, the American Board of Trial Advocates and the American Health Lawyers Association.
