Why is it Important for an Attorney to Be a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist?

Not every Arizona criminal defense lawyer is a specialist; actually, most are not, and it is strictly prohibited for an attorney to use of the terms “specialize” and “specialist” if that attorney is not certified as a specialist by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization.

A large number of fine lawyers take pride in their versatility and ability to handle cases across many different legal disciplines. However, in Arizona, a certified specialist is known to have a higher level of experience and sophistication in a particular area of practice.

Being certified as a criminal law specialist in Arizona illustrates the lawyer’s fulfillment of demanding standards relating to such qualities as the following:

• Years of experience practicing criminal law
• Litigating a certain amount of jury trials, contested motions and appellate matters
• Focus in criminal law as a primary practice area
• Successfully completing a written exam
• Recommendation by 5 impartial lawyers or judges
