Why Hire a Board-Certified Matrimonial Attorney in New Jersey?
When you are facing a complex divorce, child custody dispute, or high-asset financial negotiation, the attorney you choose matters. While many lawyers list family law among their services, very few have earned the distinction of being a Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
If you are navigating a family legal matter in Hunterdon County, Somerset County, or Eastern Pennsylvania, understanding this certification can help you make the best decision for your future when deciding on hiring a lawyer.
Understanding Board Certification in New Jersey
Out of approximately 80,000 active attorneys in New Jersey, fewer than 150 have achieved board certification as a Matrimonial Law Attorney. This credential, established by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, helps consumers identify attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional competence, experience, and integrity in family law.
To become certified, an attorney must meet rigorous standards:
- Extensive Trial & Litigation Experience: Demonstrating substantial involvement in complex matrimonial matters and trial preparation.
- Peer & Judicial Recognition: Receiving unblemished evaluations from fellow attorneys and judges regarding character, ethics, and courtroom skills.
- Rigorous Examination: Passing a comprehensive, day-long written examination covering all facets of New Jersey family law.
- Continuing Education: Exceeding standard legal education requirements to stay at the forefront of evolving family law statutes.
