The National Board of Trial Advocacy

Warshauer Woodward Atkins partner Michael Warshauer was recently recertified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. A National Board of Trial Advocacy Certified Attorney has demonstrated skill and expertise in a particular field and has proven it through rigorous examination and testing by the NBTA. The NBTA, and other organizations accredited by the American Bar Association must demonstrate that lawyers certified have an enhanced level of expertise and substantial involvement in the specialty area of certification. The standards are designed to enable the NBTA to evaluate thoroughly the objectives, standards and procedures of attorneys and to facilitate public access to appropriate legal services. United States Supreme Court Justice Stevens wrote in Peel v. Attorney Registration that “There is no dispute about the bona fides and the relevance of NBTA certification…. Disclosure of information such as that on petitioner’s letterhead both serves the public interest and encourages the development and utilization of meritorious certification programs for attorneys.”

Michael is one of only a handful of Board Certified trial lawyers in Georgia who represent plaintiffs.
