Why I Chose Board Certification
Many clients choose attorneys today in a variety of ways that can present a problem: referrals, the size of the firm, or the overall history and reputation of the firm. But, let’s face it. We all know attorneys in large, respected firms who have virtually no actual trial experience. The same goes for smaller firms as well. A jury trial to verdict these days is a rarity in most jurisdictions.
If you’re a client, you want an attorney with the experience necessary to win, not one who actually wants to go to trial to get that experience--- particularly when a jury trial could be a very bad idea.
If you’re in a tough jurisdiction where all of your client’s individual assets are at risk, or your corporate client’s very existence is at stake, doesn’t it make sense to put your faith in an attorney who has the experience and who has received recommendations from the judges in that jurisdiction and the very attorneys against whom that attorney has appeared? And, if you’re an individual plaintiff with a debilitating injury, why would you even consider hiring someone who hasn’t met that test?
NBTA certification is about credibility born from credentials, excellence honed from experience, and integrity earned by all of those.
