Becoming a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law
Effective July 1, 2017, the California Board of Legal Specialization certified me as a specialist in Bankruptcy Law. To become a bankruptcy specialist, you need to pass a specialist examination that is offered every two years in October. My employer at the time, Stephen R. Wade, encouraged me to take the exam. I did not have much time to study and relied primarily on my experiences over the prior ten years working with Mr. Wade first as a law clerk and then as an attorney.
