Why Hire a Certified Specialist
Similar to the medical field, where one doctor can’t remain current in all areas, the legal profession has grown so complex that attorneys can no longer be all things to all people. With a State Bar of Arizona Certified Specialist, you can be confident that the attorney you choose has been independently verified to have extensive experience and knowledge in your area of need.
When you have experienced the heartache of an injury or death and need an attorney to help, choosing a State Bar Certified Specialist can give you peace of mind. Why? Because they have demonstrated that they have advanced knowledge and experience relating to complex injury and wrongful death litigation, and you will receive excellent legal care.
An Arizona attorney must meet the following minimum standards for Specialization in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death:
- Admission to the practice of law for at least five (5) years
- Admission to the State Bar of Arizona for at least two (2) years immediately preceding submission of the application
- Devotion of at least 50% of a full-time practice to the specialty area
- Substantial involvement in the certification area for four to six of the years immediately preceding submission of the application
- A full peer review is conducted and a written examination must be passed.
Don is the first Certified Specialist in our office and can answer any questions you have for him. At Accident Law Group we like to put our clients first and will do anything and everything we can to help you with your accident.
