WHY USE A CERTIFIED TRIAL ATTORNEY There are more than 60,000 lawyers in the State of New Jersey, and finding the right one to represent you can be a difficult and challenging gamble. Everyone knows someone who is a lawyer - a cousin, a brother-in-law, a neighbor or, perhaps, a friend of a friend, but that lawyer, although a very nice person, may not be the most qualified lawyer to represent you for the type of case that you have. Every year the New Jersey Supreme Court certifies a small number of attorneys as having a special degree of knowledge and experience in a particular field. A Certified Civil Trial Attorney has demonstrated extensive jury trial and civil litigation experience, and has passed a test given by the Supreme Court to assure knowledge of evidence and legal procedures. Of the more than 60,000 lawyers in New Jersey, only 1300 have been certified by the Supreme Court as Civil Trial Attorneys. Whether you are searching for a good doctor, or a good lawyer, the questions you should ask are almost the same. Are they certified in their particular practice area? How many cases or procedures like yours has the doctor or lawyer handled? Will the lawyer or doctor handle your case himself or will he involve other less experienced associates? If the case has to go to a trial because it cannot be settled for a fair amount, will the lawyer try the case himself or "refer" you to someone else? These are the questions you should ask when selecting an attorney or changing attorneys. You may be surprised at the answers!
