Peel v. Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of Illinois, 110 S.Ct. 2281 (1990), disallows any state from prohibiting disclosure of NBTA certification.

Why I Chose Board Certification
When the idea of a national standard for trial lawyers was first discussed back in the 1970's, I thought that it was a very worthwhile idea.

For many years, doctors had board certification recognition and specialization based upon a qualified candidate passing national testing.

When NBTA first came into existence, I saw it as an expression of my commitment to civil trial practice and a commitment to excellence to qualify for and then sit for the examination. I was very happy to have passed the examination and to have become a board certified trial lawyer .

From its inception, NBTA stood out as a symbol of excellence for lawyers throughout the United States.

Not uncommonly today, sophisticated consumers shop for a lawyer and it certainly makes a difference when you explain that you are board certified and what board certification means.

Choose a Board Certified Trial Lawyer

All lawyers are not created equal, but all lawyers are free to take any case they want, regardless of whether they've proven themselves.

NBTA board certification provides both consumers and other lawyers looking to refer cases with an objective credential.

It just makes great sense to choose a board certified trial lawyer over a non-certified lawyer.
