Board Certification
The Florida Bar is the organization of all lawyers licensed by the Supreme Court of Florida to practice law in the state. The Florida Bar’s core functions are to: Regulate the practice of law in Florida; ensure the highest standards of legal professionalism in Florida; and protect the public by prosecuting unethical attorneys and preventing the unlicensed practice of law.

certification is conferred upon lawyers by the most
credible and highest authority over the state’s legal
community, The Florida Bar.
PROFESSIONALISM AND ETHICS
Each board-certified lawyer undergoes a rigorous
peer-review process that assesses competence in a
specialty field, as well as professionalism and ethics
in the practice of law.
