board of lawyers

hi. i’m dave glatthorn. i’m an attorneyin west palm beach, florida. for over 20 years, i’ve just represented persons injured bythe negligence of others. now the subject of this video is board certification. forover 20 years, i’ve been continuously board certified as a specialist in civil trial practice.now what does that mean? well first, it is the highest level of competency recognizedby the florida supreme court. in fact, the only lawyers who can call themselves “specialists”in the state of florida are those who are board certified. to become board certifieda lawyer has to have so many years of experience, they have to have so many trials, you haveto have letters of recommendations from judges and other lawyers, and they have to take writtenexaminations. in addition to that, they have

to be re-certified every 5 years. so theyhave to keep up an active trial practice. well, it’s important because what it saysis – to an insurance company that sees this – that this is an individual that can takea case to trial and that is one of the factors they use in evaluating as far as their settlementoffers. i would urge you, if you have been injured, to seek out the services of a boardcertified civil trial lawyer in the state of florida. if you’re watching this video,you may have been injured in an accident. you have questions; you have concerns. callme, 561-659-1999. we can answer your questions; we can address your concerns. we’re hereto help.
