Ormond Beach resident and attorney Kelly H. Chanfrau, a partner at Chanfrau and Chanfrau, has been awarded the AV Preeminent Judicial Edition Rating in both legal ability and ethical standards by members of the Bar and Judiciary for 2020. This is the highest rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
This rating is given to attorneys who are ranked at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal expertise, communication skills and ethical standards by their peers, a press release states, quoting the Martindale-Hubbell website.
“It is an honor and recognition that means so much because it is based on feedback from other attorneys as well as clients," said Chanfrau, a Seabreeze alumna. "It is meaningful and significant and is something for which I feel humbled and tremendously grateful.”
