Certified Criminal Trial Attorney Amber L. Forrester, Esq.
What Is a Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer?
Attorney Amber Forrester is “Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Criminal Trial Attorney.” Certified Criminal Trial Attorney is a designation granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court to attorneys who are able to demonstrate sufficient levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skill in criminal practice.
The certification program helps the public find attorneys who have demonstrated proficiency in specialized fields of law. Certification helps lawyers by giving them a way to make their experience known to the public and to other lawyers. Certification also encourages the maintenance and improvement of attorney competence in specialized fields of law.
What does it mean when an attorney is certified?
The Certified Trial Attorney certification process is the only method of ensuring you are selecting an attorney that has the skill, experience, reputation and ethics recognized by the New Jersey State Supreme Court as sufficient enough to be recognized as an expert in the field of criminal trial work for that certification. This certification process is the only recognized vetting of the actual credentials, trials, peer review and testing of an attorney in New Jersey.
A certified attorney is more than just an attorney who specializes in a particular area of law. A New Jersey attorney who is certified by the Supreme Court as a criminal trial attorney must have:
been a member in good standing of the New Jersey bar for more than 5 years
fulfilled ongoing continuing legal education requirements
demonstrated a substantial level of experience in criminal trial law
been favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with his or her work, and
taken and passed a written examination in criminal trial law.
Attorney Amber Forrester is one of approximately 250 lawyers in the State certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a criminal trial attorney. There are over 80,000 lawyers in the State of New Jersey but only one half of 1 percent of attorneys in the State have this designation.
Non-certified or less experienced criminal defense lawyers often hire a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney to take important cases before a judge and jury.
