A Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney

In order to become a member of this elite group of trial attorneys, an attorney must undergo an exhaustive screening of their credentials, including: documentation of their experience, judicial and peer references, as well as a day long exam. The attorney's ethical standards are also examined by the Standards Committee of the NBTA. A candidate's willingness to undergo this process illustrates a dedication to achieving and maintaining a high standard of practice. In order to retain membership in the NBTA, an attorney must maintain an active trial practice and is required to re-submit his or her application for certification at the end of each five-year term.
