NC Bar Certifies Specialists In Social Security Disability Law

The NC Board of Legal Specialization today announced the following list of NC attorneys who have become certified as Social Security Disability Law specialists:
Lynn Bishop
Laurie J. Burch
Vaughn S. Clauson
Amy L. Cox
James M. Duncan
Holly J. Fairbairn
James B. Gillespie Jr.
Diane S. Griffin
Charles T. Hall
Mason T. Hogan
Robert J. Jacobs
Robert A. Joneth
Janet M. Lyles
Deborah F. Maury
Christa A. McGill
Susan M. O'Malley
Virginia A. Noble
James W. Partin
Walter B. Patterson
Brian L. Peterson
George C. Piemonte
Rachel Pickard
Michele C. Pritchard
Brian M. Ricci
Kevin D. Rodgers
H. Russell Vick

This is the first group of attorneys certified as specialists in Social Security Disability Law by any state bar. The National Board of Trial Advocacy had also administered two exams to certify specialists in this field. To the best of my knowledge, Tennessee is the only state that fully accepts the NBTA certification, although attorneys in most, if not all other states, who are certified by the NBTA, can properly advertise that they had been certified as specialists, as long as they make it clear that it is the NBTA that did the certification rather than their state bar.
