DEAR RECYCBRIDE:
Please don't make your decision just based purely on a rating, although it can be a reasonable indicator. Martindale-Hubbell ratings are somewhat biased because they don't seek out information on EVERY attorney, and some attorneys can request to be omitted if they want.
A better idea might be to visit Mr. Boswell's office and interview with him to find out if he has the particular expertise needed and the desire to work with your legal case. Or, maybe he can recommend someone else who he feels might also be qualified. He must be reasonably qualified if someone else recommended him to you.
