131 Florida lawyers earn board certification
Florida’s legal ranks currently feature over 5,000 board-certified attorneys, offering expertise in 27 areas of law
The Board of Legal Specialization and Education congratulates the 129 lawyers who recently earned Florida Bar board certification, which recognizes attorneys’ special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice.
Board certified lawyers are “Evaluated for Professionalism and Tested for Expertise.”
Florida’s legal ranks currently feature over 5,000 board-certified attorneys, offering expertise in 27 areas of law. With just one in 20 Florida Bar members able to call themselves “board certified,” it clearly is a crucial component in the career of any attorney looking to emerge from the crowd.
As the legal landscape grows increasingly competitive, board-certified lawyers are able to use their status to set themselves apart from peers. And a growing number of Bar members are exploring board certification to help stand out in what they see as a crowded landscape.
