National Board of Legal Specialty Certification

Board-Certified Civil Trial Advocate

The National Board of Legal Specialty Certification is accredited by the American Bar Association to certify lawyers in the specialty areas of civil trial law, criminal trial law, family trial law and social security disability advocacy law. The board went through a rigorous application process wherein panels were chosen by the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Specialization to evaluate each aspect of the National Board of Legal Specialty Certification's structure. This review included not only the board's standards and certification policies but also an intensive evaluation of all aspects of the operation from financial solvency to a complete screening of all decision makers.
