What Is a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney?

When a lawyer receives the designation of Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, it means that they have demonstrated certain levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skill when it comes to criminal trial practice in the State of New Jersey. Before the NJ Supreme Court chooses an attorney for this honor, the court must ensure that the attorney meets very specific requirements:

  1. The attorney has been a member of the NJ Bar Association, and maintained good standing, for more than five years.
  2.  The attorney has attended Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs while practicing law in New Jersey.
  3. The attorney has proven experience as a criminal trial lawyer who prepares legal matters for litigation and handles cases in the courtroom.
  4. The attorney’s peers in the legal community, including other lawyers and judges, have expressed their support through favorable evaluations of the attorney’s character and ability.
  5. The attorney passed a rigorous written examination on important areas of criminal trial law.

The certification process for becoming a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney is the only official vetting process for NJ attorneys. You may come across lawyers who boast about their credentials and case results; however, unless that lawyer can say that they are Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Criminal Trial Attorney, they have not been recognized as an expert when it comes to criminal trial practice in New Jersey.

Why You Should Choose a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney

When a criminal defense lawyer is certified by the NJ Supreme Court and designated as a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, it means a great deal for both the attorney and their clients. The designation is meant to provide prospective clients with valuable information about lawyers in New Jersey. The NJ Board on Attorney Certification has specified that the attorney certification program protects consumers and helps them to make informed decisions when seeking and selecting a lawyer.

If I could give Mr.Shulman 100 stars I would. Because he is wonderful. I highly recommend him. He helped me when I felt like my back was against the wall. It’s not all about a dollar to him. TRUST ME I KNOW. He actually cares. Unlike many other lawyers. Thanks again for taking on my case and speaking for me when I couldn’t speak for myself.

I sincerely appreciate Michael Shulman's efforts to exonerate me. He told me after reviewing my case that we were going to get a dismissal, and we did. There are great attorneys, great people out there that want to usher in justice. Mr. Shulman is one of them. Thank you Michael!

Words do no justice for the outstanding service and professionalism I experienced being represented by Michael Shulman. Some background: I was found with a small, 500 MG weed cartridge for my vape pen and was subsequently arrested in NJ. I was given the option for a public defender but decided against it after speaking with some friends who are attorneys. I found my way to Michael Shulman through word of mouth, and I could not have chosen better representation. Michael is thorough, quick to respond to emails (I rarely waited longer than 10 minutes) and answers all questions without hesitation. He has a clear grasp of the law and criminal defense and provides you with all your options. His prices are VERY fair given the level of service. I cannot imagine being represented by a public defender, especially after witnessing the other cases during my appearance before the judge/court. I ultimately enter a “guilty plea” and opted for the conditional discharge which is a diversionary program in municipal court that exists for first-time drug offenders. I was required to enter probation (or “mini-probation”) for one year. Following completion, the charges are dropped, and record expunged. There were some hiccups after being ordered to “mini-probation”. One month passed and I had still not receiving anything from court regarding probation. Two months, nothing. Three months, the same. Michael was proactive and reached out to the courts/probation every month to ensure I was covered, and the probation start date was not extended. This is the type of service you do not get with a public defender. In short, if you find yourself needing criminal defense, do not play with your future. Call, email, text Michael Shulman. You will be glad you did.
