Dallas, TX family law attorney Mark Scroggins explains what it means to be Board-Certified in Family Law in Texas. He points out that only about two percent of lawyers in Texas are board certified in family law. Because of that, he emphasizes the importance of choosing a firm led by board-certified attorneys. Even if a client’s lawyer isn’t certified, they benefit from being mentored and guided by those who are, ensuring a higher level of expertise. Board certification demonstrates that a lawyer has a deeper knowledge and specialized skill set than roughly 98 percent of other attorneys in the state, which can make a significant difference in the outcome of a family law case. Hiring a specialist like that is far more advantageous than hiring someone who may not even know what they don’t know.
