What Is Board Certification in Family Law and Why It Matters for Your Case
When your family, future, and finances are at stake, you deserve more than standard legal representation — you need proven expertise. At Johnson McNulty, we are proud to be a board-certified and expert family law firm in Texas —a distinction that reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence, expertise, and results.
Understanding Board Certification: A Mark of Excellence in Family Law
Board certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS) is a mark of distinction achieved by only the most experienced and knowledgeable family law professionals.
Fewer than 2% of family law attorneys in Texas—and just 1% in Tarrant County—hold this prestigious designation. To become board-certified, attorneys must meet rigorous requirements, including:
- Extensive years of experience in family law practice.
- Comprehensive continuing legal education in specialized areas of family law.
- Passing a challenging examination that tests both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
- Peer recommendations from judges and attorneys who attest to the attorney’s professionalism, ethics, and expertise.
This rigorous process ensures that board-certified attorneys bring unmatched expertise and dedication to their clients’ cases.
