FAQ

1.  What does it mean for a lawyer to be Board Certified? 

A Board Certification means an attorney is a specialist or an expert in a certain area of law.  Board Certification is the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar as it relates to the competency and experience of an attorney. The majority of lawyers that practice criminal law are not certified, but those who are have taken the extra steps and done the extra work to have their extreme competence and vast experience in the area of criminal law recognized.  A Board Certified Criminal Attorney is the type of expert lawyer you should have on your side.
