Ferguson also is rated AV-Preeminent by Martindale Hubbell, the highest rank available and a testament to the lawyer's reputation among peers as fellow attorneys determine the ranking.

Benchmark is the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on litigation in the US. The guide's results are the culmination of a six-month research period that allows researchers to conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients. Interviewers examine recent casework handled by the firms and ask sources to offer their professional opinions on litigators practicing within their state or national practice areas.
For more than forty years, Provost Umphrey's mission has remained to seek justice for those suffering from a personal injury, wrongful death or other legal wrong across Texas and nationwide through their lawyers in Beaumont and Houston, Little Rock, Arkansas and Nashville, Tennessee.
