While searching for an attorney to represent you for your divorce, prenuptial agreement, or other family law matter, you may have noticed some attorneys indicate they are a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS). You may have also seen the CFLS logo on an attorney’s website or business card. A certified specialist is more than just an attorney who practices in a particular area of law. They have gone above and beyond to demonstrate proficiency in that area. A California attorney who is certified by the State bar as a Family Law Specialist has:
* Passed a comprehensive written examination in Family Law
* Demonstrated extensive and varied experience in Family Law
* Completed additional and ongoing educational requirements
* Received favorable evaluations by judges and other attorneys familiar with their work
