Why is hiring a family law firm with board-certified family law specialists important? The State Bar’s certification process helps the public identify attorneys who are experienced and skilled in family law and informs the public of this expertise. ⚖️ To be certified as a family law specialist in North Carolina, an attorney must have practiced a minimum number of years with substantial involvement in family law, undergo a peer review process, and pass a written exam (like a bar exam, just for family law). Specialists must apply for re-certification every five years. ⚖️ NINE of our attorneys are board-certified family law specialists, and our associates are all required to apply to be specialists as soon as they are eligible to do so. ⚖️ Our firm’s focus and requirement of having attorneys who are all specialists or working toward becoming specialists, shows our clients and prospective clients we value being EXPERTS in our practice area. #nclawspecialists#boardcertified#familylaw#wflg#northhillsdivorce#playhardplayfairplaytowin ...
