The North Carolina State Bar has granted Board Certified Specialist in Family Law status to attorneys Mark N. Morris and Gabrielle R. Valentine of Farmer Morris. Board certification represents one of the highest professional honors an attorney can achieve, awarded to lawyers who demonstrate substantial involvement, advanced knowledge, and proven expertise in a specific legal field.
Only a small percentage of North Carolina attorneys hold this certification, which requires rigorous peer review, extensive experience, ongoing continuing legal education, and successful completion of a comprehensive examination. The certification process is designed to identify attorneys who have gone beyond standard licensing requirements to develop specialized proficiency.
"Earning board certification reflects Mark and Gabrielle's unwavering commitment to excellence and their dedication to serving families during some of life's most difficult moments," said a spokesperson for Farmer Morris. "This achievement reinforces our firm's commitment to providing clients with knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate legal representation."
As Board Certified Specialists in Family Law, Morris and Valentine are now uniquely qualified to handle complex family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, and equitable distribution. Their certification provides clients with added confidence that their cases are being handled by attorneys recognized for their expertise and professionalism by the state's official regulatory body.
This development is significant for North Carolina residents seeking family law representation because board certification serves as an objective measure of an attorney's specialized knowledge and experience.
