Haug Barron Law Group’s James Haug Earns 2026 AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell

Haug Barron Law Group today announces that its founding partner James Robert Haug has earned a 2026 AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer distinction for legal ability and ethical standards.

The AV Preeminent rating is awarded to attorneys who receive top marks from members of the legal community based on peer evaluations of legal knowledge, communication skills and professional ethics. It reflects the highest level of recognition available through Martindale-Hubbell’s Peer Review Ratings.

Haug is the founding partner of Haug Barron Law Group and focuses his practice on catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, trucking collisions, wrongful death and complex personal injury litigation. A graduate of the University of Georgia and Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, he has secured multiple high-stakes verdicts and settlements, including a $30 million medical malpractice verdict—one of the 10 largest in Georgia history.

“This is one of the awards I am most proud to receive because it comes directly from judges and fellow attorneys who understand the demands and responsibilities of trial work,” Haug said. “I’m grateful for the trust of my peers and remain committed to advocating for our clients with integrity and diligence.”

Martindale-Hubbell’s Peer Review Ratings are based on confidential evaluations submitted by attorneys and members of the judiciary, providing insight into a lawyer’s professional reputation within the legal community.
