- Demonstrate extensive trial experience and legal expertise in civil litigation
- Pass a rigorous written exam administered by The Florida Bar
- Earn peer reviews from judges and attorneys for professionalism and ethics
- Show ongoing commitment to legal education and excellence in trial advocacy
Maintaining this elite credential for fifteen years is a testament to Bill’s dedication and proficiency in civil trial law.
