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

Wyoming State Coordinator
I have joined the ranks of highly trained and experienced trial lawyers.
--John Thomas

Why I Got Board Certified
I became board certified in family law trial advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a result of my desire to set myself apart from general practitioners in the increasinglycomplex area of family law. I was concerned over the quality of trial advocacy in the courtroom in family law cases. Since my practice emphasized family law, I wanted to aid the public in finding qualified trial representation in the area of family law. At continuing legal education seminars which I attended around the country, I observed that many family law practitioners had been certified by their states as specialists. Since the State of Wyoming does not have such certification standards, I turned to the NBTA. Although NBTA's standards for certification are rigorous, the effort required to attain certification was well worth the satisfaction of knowing that I had joined the ranks of highly trained and experienced trial lawyers. Clients who have entrusted me with their representation have done so because they believe that the best interests of their children and the protection of the assets that they have worked so hard to accumulate deserve the attention of someone who has gone the extra mile in becoming board certified.

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.
