  • Board certification recognizes attorneys’ special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in various areas of law and ethics in practice.
  • Board certified lawyers are evaluated for professionalism and tested for expertise.
  • Board Certification is The Florida Bar’s highest level of evaluation of the competency and experience of attorneys in the 24 areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida.
  • Established in 1982 by Florida’s Supreme Court, board certification helps consumers identify specialists in various areas of law.
  • Board certified Florida Bar members are the only Florida attorneys allowed to identify themselves as “Board Certified,” “Specialist,” “Expert,” or to use the letters “B.C.S.” for Board Certified Specialist on business cards or letterhead, in legal directories, or in advertising.

So what will your attorney do precisely? Well, a divorce lawyer is equipped to handle every aspect of the divorce process, including the division of assets, arranging a child custody agreement and determining how much will be paid in child support and/or alimony.

Ms. Lewert is also a Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator. As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, Attorney Tina L. Lewert can help you sort through the divorce in a manner that’s cooperative instead of combative. In cases where mediation is not possible, the case will go to court where a judge will decide the terms of the divorce. You need an attorney who will work aggressively to ensure a favorable outcome.
