Peel v. Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of Illinois, 110 S.Ct. 2281 (1990), disallows any state from prohibiting disclosure of NBTA certification.

Board certification confirms to my clients that I care enough to meet and maintain the legal standards which they should expect of their trial representatives.
--Leonard Orman
Why I Chose Board Certification
I consider being certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a prestigious accomplishment and a unique honor of which I am very proud. Board certification confirms to my clients that I care enough to meet and maintain the legal standards which they should expect of their trial representatives.

When a trial lawyer becomes NBTA board certified, he or she is immediately recognized as someone whose trial skills and abilities have been proven and established by examination.

Taking and passing the board certification exam also confirms my legal abilities to my clients and that they will be properly represented. Anyone who desires to be a standard bearer for the trial bar should have no hesitancy to take the NBTA certification exam which is objective and impartial and which establishes board certified lawyers as leaders of the trial bar.

Being NBTA board certified is wonderful basis for attorney referrals because attorneys who are seeking to make referrals recognize at once that their clients are in good hands with an NBTA board certified attorney.

Choose a Board Certified Trial Lawyer

All lawyers are not created equal, but all lawyers are free to take any case they want, regardless of whether they've proven themselves.

NBTA board certification provides both consumers and other lawyers looking to refer cases with an objective credential.

It just makes great sense to choose a board certified trial lawyer over a non-certified lawyer.
