| Board Certification FAQs
What does it mean to be board certified?
It means that the attorney in question has met the
requirements necessary to be certified as a specialist in a particular area
of practice by The Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education.
Board certification makes it easier for consumers to find attorneys who have
special expertise in the certification practice areas, and allows certified
lawyers to communicate their special knowledge and experience to the public
