Board certification is The Florida Bar’s highest evaluation of attorneys’ competency, experience and professionalism in the 24 areas of law approved for specialization. Board certification evaluates attorneys’ special knowledge, skills and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. Board certified lawyers are evaluated for professionalism, tested for expertise.
