Congratulations to John C. Primeau for recently being recertified by the Florida Bar as a specialist in real estate law.
Board certification recognizes attorneys’ special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. It is a voluntary program for lawyers, approved by The Florida Supreme Court and administered by The Florida Bar. Certification is the highest level of evaluation by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification. Certified attorneys are the only lawyers allowed to identify themselves as “Florida Bar Board Certified,” as “specialists” or “experts” in a particular practice area. Certification establishes standards for a lawyer’s education and competency, and the Florida Bar grants board certification only to lawyers who have been evaluated for experience and expertise in a particular area of law. Only seven percent of eligible Florida Bar members are board certified.
Mr. Primeau became board certified in real estate law in 2001 and has been recertified twice since then.
