We’re proud to share that John H. “Jack” Hickey has been recertified in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

NBTA certification is a national board certification and the only national board certification available to trial lawyers.

Jack’s national certification is based in part on his state-level Civil Trial Law certification from The Florida Bar. That certification requires attorneys to complete a set number of trials on an ongoing basis, pass a two-day examination and undergo peer review by lawyers and judges who can attest to their experience.

Jack is triple board-certified in Civil Trial Law by the NBTA, Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar and Admiralty and Maritime Law by The Florida Bar.

Please join us in congratulating Jack on earning this distinction once again.
