Why Hire a Board Certified Lawyer

June 19, 2018/0 Comments/in Announcements /by Jeffrey R. Davis

In Florida, board certification recognizes attorney’s special knowledge, skills and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. So why should you hire a Board-Certified Lawyer over a lawyer that is not Board Certified? Board Certification for attorneys, like Board Certification for Doctors means that the professional has gone through additional testing and has demonstrated specific competency, experience and quality in reputation. The Florida Supreme court established Florida’s Board Certification program in 1982 so that consumers can identify qualified legal specialists who are dedicated to professional excellence. In 1982, 33,800 were members of the Florida Bar. Today, Florida has more than 95,000 attorneys practicing in numerous fields of law. Certification gives prospective client’s objective information on a lawyer’s special knowledge, skills and proficiency in specific fields of law. When a client is seeking the services of an attorney, one of the ways to determine if that attorney has a specialization in a particular field is through Board Certification. In fact, the Florida Bar only allows attorneys that are Board Certified to use the words “Specialist” or “Expert” regarding a particular practice area. Only a Board-Certified attorney is permitted by the Florida Bar to use the letter “B.C.S.” after their name. This means Board Certified Specialist.

To be Florida Board Certified, an attorney must earn this career achievement through testing, area-specific continued education and confidential peer review.

There are 27 current categories of Board Certified attorneys. These practice areas each have their own unique testing and certification requirements.

Attorneys that practice in the area of representing Plaintiff’s injured in accidents, medical malpractice or product liability can be certified in Civil Trial Law. Civil Trial Law is the practice of law dealing with litigation of civil controversies in all areas of law before State Courts, Federal Courts, Administrative Agencies and Arbitrators.

The minimum standards for Civil Trial Law certification include;

  1. Active practice of law for at least five (5) years;
  2. Substantial involvement in the specialty of Civil Trial Law – 50% or more during the three (3) years immediately preceding application;
  3. Handling of at least 15 contested Civil cases, including cases before juries as lead counsel and as trier of fact on some or all of the issues;
  4. 50 hours of approved Civil Trial Law Certification Continuing Legal Education in the three (3) years immediately preceding application;
  5. Peer review;
  6. and a Written examination.

Remember, Board Certification is not required however, certification provides an objective measure a potential client can rely upon when selecting a lawyer. Board Certification is the Florida Bar’s highest level of evaluation of the competency and experience of attorneys in the 27’s areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida. Board Certified lawyers are evaluated for professionalism, tested for expertise.

According to the Florida Bar only 7% of eligible Florida Bar members; approximately 5,000 lawyers are Board Certified. Not all qualified lawyers are certified, but those who are Board Certified have taken extra steps to have their competence and experience evaluated.

Jeffrey R. Davis, P.A. Recently reported another case in which justice was served

December 4, 2017/in Announcements, Legal Education, Uncategorized /by Jeffrey R. Davis

Jeffrey R. Davis, P.A. recently reported another case in which justice was served. The firm represented a 90 year-old pedestrian that was bumped by a car in a store parking lot and caused to fall and twist an ankle.

In this case, the client sustained a non-displaced lateral malleolus fracture – which translates to a fracture in the bone on the outside of the ankle joint. The treatment required 9 weeks in a CAM walker, followed by physical therapy. The defendant driver was insured by GEICO and the defense denied liability and disputed the existence of a fracture and that the Plaintiff sustained a permanent injury.

After a three-day trial before Hon. Jeffrey Levenson in Broward County, Florida, the jury returned a verdict in the Plaintiff’s favor with a finding of permanency. The net verdict exceeded the Proposal for Settlement which will entitle the Plaintiff to an award of Attorney’s fees as well as compensatory damages.

This is another example of how Jeffrey Davis, P.A. is willing to go beyond the call of duty for their clients. They are determined to get their clients what is rightfully owed.
