It is a pleasure to welcome both those looking for an attorney and those seeking to be board certified to this page. This organization is the preeminent organization for certifying lawyers in specialty areas. It is a solely non-profit organization for which neither the Officers nor Board of Directors receive remuneration. Its sole purpose it to assist the public in finding a qualified capable lawyer. It should be of interest to the consumer and the lawyer that the Board of Directors is an elected board which consists of attorneys who have been known as “plaintiffs lawyers” (meaning they represent those who have been injured through the fault of others in such diverse cases as automobile accidents, medical and hospital malpractice and defective products) and those who defend the ones against whom the allegations have been asserted. Those who are certified as criminal lawyers have proven their capability of representing those who are charged with violating the criminal code. Those who are certified in family practice are specially qualified to represent those who have disputes concerning domestic issues and those who are qualified in social security disability advocacy have shown a strong ability to represent those who need a fair shake in social security issues. Those who serve on the Board and as Officers are not only classified as Plaintiffs or Defense attorneys, but rather persons involved in continuing legal education at the State levels, the Judiciary, and the world of Academia. Throughout the years all who have served have been dedicated to providing a service which will benefit the community. This is not an organization to which someone can belong simply by paying a fee so they can state their qualifications. Not only must someone show their experience and their ethical credentials but once getting through that process the attorney, no matter how many bar associations and how many bars to which he/she may belong, must still take a test to satisfy the NBLSC of his/her qualifications. It is therefore an earned honor to be able to say one is Board Certified. We as an organization will continue to meet the highest standards and provide the highest service to the public. |
