What is a Certified Specialist Lawyer?
A Certified Specialist is much more than an attorney who just practices in a particular area of law…
• A Certified Specialist must have taken and passed a written examination.
• A Certified Specialist must have demonstrated a high level of experience in the specialty field.
• A Certified Specialist must have fulfilled ongoing educational requirements.
• A Certified Specialist must have been favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with his work.
