Greg has successfully achieved recertification as a civil trial advocate through the National Board of Trial Advocacy and has been a member in good standing for 21 years. The NBTA was formed out of a strong conviction that both the law profession and its clients would benefit from an organization designed specifically to create an objective set of standards illustrating an attorney's experience and expertise in the practice of trial law.
The elaborate screening of credentials that all NBTA board-certified attorneys must successfully complete includes: Demonstration of substantial trial experience, submission of judicial and peer references to attest to their competency, attendance of continuing legal education, and proof of good standing.
Board certification is the highest, most stringent, and most reliable honor an attorney can achieve. Board certifications are the only distinctions awarded by nonprofit organizations. The NBTA as well as all board-certifying organizations are committed to safeguarding the public's ability to choose a good attorney.
Approximately 3% of American Lawyers are board certified, and Greg is a member of a very select group who has taken the time to prove competence in the specialty area and earn board certification.
