Bradenton-Sarasota, Florida (January 6, 2014) – The law firm of Blalock Walters, P.A. is pleased to announce that attorney Fred E. Moore has earned board re-certification in Business Litigation from The Florida Bar. Moore has been board certified since 2008 and is one of only 240 lawyers in Florida certified in business litigation.

Initial Board certification is valid for five years. The attorney during that time must continue to practice law and attend Florida Bar-approved continuing legal education courses. Recertification requirements are similar to those for initial certification. Not all qualified lawyers are certified, but those who are board certified have voluntarily taken the extra step to have their competence and experience evaluated.

Board certification is The Florida Bar’s highest evaluation of attorneys’ competence and experience in one or more of the 24 areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida. Florida Bar board certified lawyers have demonstrated ability and experience in their fields and professionalism within the legal community.

A lawyer who is a member in good standing of The Florida Bar and who meets the standards prescribed by the state’s Supreme Court may become board certified in one or more of the 24 certification fields. Minimum requirements for certification are listed below; each area of certification may contain higher or additional standards.

– A minimum of five years in law practice.
– Substantial involvement in the field of law for which certification is sought.
