Florida Bar Board Certified Attorneys

Evaluated for Professionalism and Tested for Expertise.

Board Certification identifies attorneys as having special knowledge, skills, and proficiency, as well as a reputation for professionalism and ethics. Established by the Florida Supreme Court, Board Certification is conferred upon lawyers by the most credible and highest authority over the State’s legal community, The Florida Bar. Board Certification is Florida’s official, independent determination of a lawyer’s expertise to practice in a specialty field of law. With fewer than 7% of eligible lawyers earning Board Certification, it is considered the gold standard for Florida lawyers, representing a recognition by a lawyer’s peers that they have attained a level of professional expertise in their chosen fields.
