Arizona Certified Criminal Law Specialist

What Does It Mean to Be a Board Certified Specialist in Criminal Law?

Not all criminal defense attorneys are specialists; in fact, the very use of the terms "specialize" and "specialist" is strictly prohibited among lawyers who are not certified as such by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization.
Although many fine attorneys pride themselves on their versatility and ability to handle cases across a wide range of legal disciplines, a certified specialist is recognized as having an advanced level of experience with an emphasis in a particular area of practice.

Phoenix criminal defense lawyer Craig Gillespie worked hard to achieve his own standing as a certified specialist. To learn how his focus on criminal law throughout his 20-year career can help you find the right defense for your specific legal problem, contact The Gillespie Law Firm in Phoenix for a free consultation.

Certification as a specialist in criminal law under Arizona's procedures reflects satisfaction of demanding standards concerning such attributes as the following:

• Years of experience with the practice of criminal law
• Completion of a given number of jury trials, contested motions and appellate matters
• Concentration in criminal law as a predominant practice area
• Successful completion of a written examination
• Recommendation by five unassociated attorneys or judges
