Board Certification in Criminal Law
For close to three decades, I have been one of the few select lawyers in Collin County to receive Board Certification in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Board Certification in Criminal Law indicates that at least 25% of the lawyer’s caseload is devoted to criminal law practice. My practice is about 65% criminal defense work. Work in this field includes the preparation and trying of serious criminal offenses. in depth knowledge and demonstration of ability in applying federal constitutional law, legal procedures, rules of evidence and penal laws are required in order to obtain certification. In addition, every five years the attorney must apply for re-certification, which includes meeting standards of peer review by lawyers and judges as well as adherence to continuing legal education requirements in criminal law.
