After an extensive and confidential peer review by members of the Bar and Judiciary, Joseph D. Hughes, managing partner at the law firm of Klein DeNatale Goldner, recently received a Martindale-Hubbell AV peer review rating.

Exclusively developed and assigned by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, ratings are considered valuable benchmarks intended for use by members of the profession. An AV peer review rating is an outstanding achievement bestowed on fewer than five percent of attorneys and demonstrates that a lawyer has earned the highest rating available for their legal ability and professional ethics.

Hughes joined Klein DeNatale Goldner in 2006 and focuses his practice in the areas of water and public agency law. He was admitted to the California State Bar in 1993 after obtaining his law degree from the Santa Clara University School of Law that same year.
