Martindale-Hubbell.

Andy’s individual profile displays the AV Preeminent peer-review rating and a 5.0 peer-review score. It also displays Silver Client Champion recognition.

These are different measures: AV Preeminent concerns professional peer review, while Client Champion recognition is based on client reviews. They are kept separate from Avvo’s numerical rating and from firm-wide reviews.

The firm and the license are separate.

GJEL’s Best Law Firms rankings recognize the organization. The 2026 issuer profile lists Tier 1 Oakland rankings in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Plaintiffs. Those firm distinctions are not added to Andy’s individual award list.

His California State Bar license is a separate official record: Andrew Ronald Gillin, number 45226, admitted January 15, 1970. The State Bar displayed Active status when checked October 27, 2026. Bar admission is not an award or a certification of specialization.
