NBTA Board Certification: Legal Specialization
Accredited by the American Bar Association, the National Board of Trial Advocacy has been certifying attorneys since 1977 as a means to improve the quality of trial advocacy in U.S. courtrooms, and serve as a reliable resource for consumers in need of experienced and highly qualified counsel. In accordance with the ABA's Standing Committee on Specialization, the NBTA meticulously vets applicants in several core specialty areas – including Civil, Criminal, and Family Trial Law. As a personal injury attorney, Siegel has maintained his Board Certification in Civil Trial Law.

Board Certification is a credential for which attorneys must meet challenging and meaningful standards. In addition to demonstrating expansive knowledge, skill, and proficiency in their field of law, certified lawyers are screened for substantial trial experience, judicial and peer references attesting to their competency, and continuing legal education. Board Certification is valid for a period of five years, after which attorneys must apply for recertification.

Board Certification is one of the highest, most stringent, and most reliable honor an attorney can achieve, and the only legal industry distinction awarded by non-profit organizations. The NBTA and all board certifying organizations play an invaluable role in objectively evaluating top lawyers, and safeguarding the public's ability to choose a good attorney.
