What is Board Cerification?


Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization means that a lawyer has been recognized as having special competence in a particular area of law.  Criminal Law is one such area of specialization. 

What does it require?

A Board Certified criminal  lawyer has to show that he has  considerable experience including many trials of criminal cases.   He has to get references from other lawyers who have seen him in action and know his capabilities.  And he has to pass a tough day-long examination.    All these things are necessary before he can be recognized as Board Certified.

Why is it important?

A Board Certified criminal lawyer is one of the few who has devoted himself for years to the practice of  criminal law, and has practiced at a high level of ability.  When you or someone you know is charged with a serious crime (and all accusations are serious), you should consider selecting a lawyer who has gone the extra mile to become Board Certified.
