Attorney Eldridge Achieves Recertification with the National Board of Trial Advocacy

We are pleased to announce that our firm’s managing partner, Attorney David Eldridge, has achieved recertification with the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) as a criminal defense advocate. This board-certification is the highest honor an attorney can achieve and the only distinction awarded by non-profit organizations. Because the NBTA is dedicated to protecting the public’s ability to select exemplary attorneys, the list of qualifications for this certification is extensive and stringent. As such, only 3% of attorneys in the United States are board-certified.

Founded in 1977 and accredited by the American Bar Association, the NBTA establishes and promotes an objective set of standards for lawyers in America. The organization’s philosophy maintains that attorney certification programs advance both public interest and the legal profession. Board-certified trial attorneys have passed a rigorous evaluation process and demonstrated commitment to enriching their community of peers and consumers.

During this evaluation process, the NBTA screens every attorney for:

  • Proper credentials
  • Demonstration of extensive trial experience
  • Judicial and peer references attesting to the attorney’s competence
  • Continued legal education
  • Proof of good standing

Mr. Eldridge is a member of a growing group of leading legal professionals who are nationally recognized for demonstrating unwavering excellence in their specialty areas. A graduate from the Wake Forest University School of Law, Mr. Eldridge has taught continuing legal education seminars for the American Bar Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense lawyers and many more. With articles in a wide variety of journals and publications, Mr. Eldridge devotes his time, resources, and experience to elevating the standards and expectations of his profession.
