Craig, Kelley & Faultless, a nationally recognized personal injury firm, is proud to announce that Scott A. Faultless, a founding member and partner of the law firm, has successfully achieved recertification for the next five years as a truck accident law advocate which is awarded by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) and accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). Board certification conveys that an attorney has done the extra work to be certified in a specific legal field. At the time of Scott’s recertification, only seventy-four (74) attorneys were board-certified in truck accident law by the NBTA.

The NBTA’s board certification in truck accident law was designed specifically to create an objective set of standards illustrating an attorney’s experience and expertise in the practice of truck accident trial law. Board Certification is the highest, most stringent, and most reliable honor an attorney can achieve with strict standards set to become board certified. Choosing an attorney that is board-certified in truck accident law means hiring an attorney with:

• demonstration of substantial trial experience
• extensive knowledge of truck accident law by passing a written examination
• submission of judicial and peer references to attest to their accomplishments in truck accident law
• attendance of continuing legal education courses in truck accident law including writing articles and books, participation in truck accident law organizations, and speaking at truck accident law conferences, etc.
• proof of good standing and adherence to high ethical standards through enrollment in ethics courses, and seminars, participation in ethics-based organizations, etc.
