why choose a board certified lawyer

What is Board Certification and Why is it Important?

Board certification is voluntary program run by a State Bar Association which recognizes attorneys’ special knowledge, skills and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice.  Board Certified lawyers have met the Florida Bar's highest standards after rigorously evaluating their experience and competency in one of 26 practice areas.  

Board certification's stringent requirements for legal expertise and professional conduct give the public objective standards by which to evaluate attorneys.
