The Advantages of Hiring a Certified Matrimonial Attorney
When a marriage begins to dissolve, it can seem like the end of your hopes and dreams and the world as you know it. Yet during that highly emotional time, you need to do everything you can to protect your children, your home, your lifestyle, and your finances. You may not be thinking clearly, and so choosing the right lawyer at a time like that may be challenging.
The good news is that the State of New Jersey has made your choice easier, by bestowing Supreme Court Certifications upon certain lawyers who have gone through rigorous training and passed stringent qualifications.
When you choose a Certified Matrimonial Attorney, you know that you are choosing someone who understands everything about the specialty area of matrimonial law.
Becoming a Certified Matrimonial Attorney
The requirements for becoming a Certified Matrimonial Attorney include:
- Being a member in good standing of the New Jersey bar for more than five years
- Demonstrating a substantial level of experience in matrimonial law
- Continuing to fulfill all ongoing education requirements
- Undergoing strict vetting to ensure the lawyer has experience in handling different types of family law cases
- Passing a written examination on matrimonial law
- Receiving favorable evaluations by judges and other lawyers
There are approximately 75,000 active lawyers in the state of New Jersey, and many of them will tell you that they are qualified to practice matrimonial law. However, out of that large number there are only two percent that are certified.
When you choose a certified lawyer, you are choosing someone who has proven their proficiency in family and matrimonial law.
