Both Clint Broden and Mick Mickelsen are certified by the Board as criminal law specialists.

Do you want an attorney that is certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization the (”Board”) as an expert in criminal law or do you want an attorney that is not board certified as a specialist? All Texas attorneys are required to post on their Web sites whether or not they are board certified. Approximately ten percent of attorneys are certified by the Board as specialists in a particular area of law. In order to obtain a certification as being specialized in criminal law, an attorney must, among other things, submit an application to the Board setting forth the trials and appeals he or she has handled in both state court and federal court as well as the continuing legal education he or she has received in the field of criminal law. The Board obtains evaluations about the attorney from judges, prosecutors and other criminal defense lawyers. Finally, the attorney must pass a rigorous examination testing his or her knowledge of both state and federal law. We suggest that, with your liberty at stake, you hire an attorney who had undergone the rigorous hurdles to become certified as criminal law specialists and, if you are considering hiring a non-specialist, you ask the attorney why he or she is not Board Certified.
