Board Certified Bankruptcy Lawyers in Grand Island, Nebraska | What Does Board Certified Mean?

Lawyer Advertising in Nebraska Regarding Specialization

In the State of Nebraska there many lawyers. One way in which a Grand Island bankruptcy attorney can stand out is by becoming Board Certified. Some states offer Board Certification programs and others do not. The State of Nebraska recognizes certain national certifications, as stated in rule 7.4 of the Nebraska Rules of Professional Conduct:

RULE 7.4 COMMUNICATION OF FIELDS OF PRACTICE

(a) A lawyer may communicate the fact that the lawyer does or does not practice in particular fields of law.

(b) A lawyer admitted to engage in patent practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office may use the designation "Patent Attorney" or a substantially similar designation.

(c) A lawyer engaged in Admiralty practice may use the designation "Admiralty," "Proctor in Admiralty" or a substantially similar designation.

(d) A lawyer shall not state or imply that a lawyer is certified as a specialist in a particular field of law, unless:

(1) the lawyer has been certified as a specialist by an organization that has been approved by an appropriate state authority or that has been accredited by the American Bar Association; and

(2) the name of the certifying organization is clearly identified in the communication.

In Nebraska and in the area of Bankruptcy, an entity that Grand Island lawyers are able to publicly discuss their certification is a company called the:

American Board of Certification (ABC)
101 Second Street SE, Suite 904
Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401
(319) 365-2222
www.abcworld.org

They offer a certification in Business Bankruptcy and Consumer Bankruptcy.

It is not essential that an attorney be "Board Certified" or "Specialized" in bankruptcy law to excellently represent you, or a family member. However, as law practices develop each area gets more and more detailed. It is very hard for a practitioner to constantly stay on top of each and every legal intricacy if they practice many different practice areas. If a lawyer is certified in Bankruptcy by ABC, this means that they have a level of proficiency to be able to handle your bankruptcy needs. If you are unclear if a Grand Island bankruptcy lawyer is certified you can simply ask them.
