Maring Williams has been awarded an AV rating from the Martindale-Hubbell© Peer Review Ratings™. This is the highest rating, bestowed only upon attorneys who have been found to possess the highest ethical standards and legal ability.
For more than 140 years, Martindale-Hubbell has been a trusted legal authority on legal professionals in the United States. The Martindale-Hubbell© Peer Review Ratings™ helps consumers to identify, evaluate and select the most appropriate lawyer for the specific task at hand.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings are an objective indicator of the lawyer’s high ethical standards and professional ability, generated from evaluations of lawyers by other members of the bar and the judiciary in the United States and Canada. There are two components to the review ratings. The first rating, general ethical standards, denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities. Those lawyers who meet the “very high” criteria of general ethical standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process-legal ability.
Legal ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, which include:

Oilfield Accident & Traumatic Brain Injury
Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe burns, and permanent disfigurement when he was involved in a gas explosion in the Bakken oil fields of western North Dakota.
Oilfield Accident & Burn Injury
Our client was severely burned and suffered permanent and disabling injuries in an explosion and fire at a well site in the Bakken oil fields of western North Dakota. The explosion and fire were caused by uncontained hydrocarbon fumes.
Car Accident
Our client suffered severe injuries in a head-on automobile crash when her vehicle was intentionally struck by a vehicle operated by her ex-boyfriend.
Rear-Ended Car Accident
Our client was rear-ended while stopped on the highway and sustained significant injuries to his back, ribs and lung. With the settlement proceeds, our client’s life was transformed by having the financial security to work fewer hours and to purchase a comfortable home to live in.
Car Accident and Tractor-Trailer Accident
Our client was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a semi-tractor on a highway. The semi-tractor driver disregarded a stop sign and blocked both lanes of travel. Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury.
Oilfield Accident
Our client experienced a catastrophic ankle injury resulting in multiple surgeries while working on a work over rig in the Bakken Oilfields. He suffers from permanent damage to his right ankle and this recovery will help defer the cost of future treatment and decrease in future earning potential.
Trucking Accident
Our client was hit by a semi-tractor and trailer that failed to yield at an intersection. Our client’s pick-up truck burst into flames and he suffered catastrophic injuries, including extensive third-degree burns, multiple fractures, and acute renal failure, that required several months in the hospital and resulted in permanent disfigurement to a large portion of his body.
Oilfield Accident & Wrongful Death
We represented the wife and child of an oil field worker who died from an explosion and flash fire on a well site caused by the release of hydrocarbons.
Trucking Accident & Catastrophic Injuries
Our client was rendered quadriplegic when the truck in which he was a passenger crashed into a semi-tractor and trailer. The semi was illegally backing up on a busy state highway in the dark and in foggy conditions.
Premises Liability
Our client was catastrophically injured when she was trapped inside a burning apartment building by a metal “roll-down” fire door. Our experts identified numerous violations of fire codes, which resulted in the dangerous conditions that ultimately prevented our client from escaping the fire.
