When you want a top attorney on your defense team, you need a board-certified criminal trial attorney. Only 5 percent of attorneys nationwide receive board certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), a distinction that matters when your future is on the line.
Board certification proves you’re hiring an attorney with substantial trial experience who has dedicated a significant portion of their career to a specific practice area. The process requires hundreds of hours of jury trial experience and written recommendations from fellow attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. Attorneys also need to pass a rigorous three-hour written exam covering criminal law, procedure, and ethics – which is separate from the Bar exam that every practicing attorney takes. This lengthy process confirms that your attorney has the knowledge, skill, and courtroom experience to handle complex criminal cases effectively.
You have a strong advantage when your attorney has the experience and practical experience to advocate aggressively on your behalf. As of 2019, Daniel T. Geherin of Geherin Law Group, PLLC, is one of only three board-certified criminal trial attorneys in Michigan. He’s also the only certified criminal attorney in Washtenaw County.

Board certification through the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) isn’t easy. That’s why only a small percentage of attorneys nationwide achieve the distinction. When you work with a board-certified lawyer, you know that your attorney has substantial trial experience and deep subject matter knowledge. Hiring a board-certified attorney means you’re working with someone recognized for their exceptional skill, knowledge, and courtroom competence.
To receive board certification, an attorney must have:
Each lawyer who applies must have hundreds of hours of criminal jury trial experience. This experience gives them strong, practical knowledge of how cases unfold in court – and how to approach even the toughest legal challenges.
Reputation matters, especially with your colleagues on the bench and across the aisle. Written evaluations from fellow attorneys, prosecutors, and judges confirm the attorney’s skill, ethics, and professionalism.
A three-hour written exam tests knowledge of criminal law, trial procedure, and ethical responsibilities. This exam is in addition to the multi-day Bar exam that every lawyer must pass before they can practice in a state.
Choosing a board-certified attorney can give you extra confidence in your legal representation. When you work with Daniel T. Geherin and Geherin Law Group, PLLC, you can trust that your case will be handled by someone who knows the ropes. Daniel has proven trial readiness and knows how to challenge the prosecution’s evidence to fight for your future.
Most people know they have legal rights after an arrest, but may not understand what those rights are – and how to protect them. Working with a criminal defense attorney is the best way to protect your rights while you move through the legal system.
The experience that comes with board certification helps Geherin Law Group, PLLC, to guide you through each stage with precision and foresight. When you have an experienced attorney on your side, you’re more likely to avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions about your defense.
Your rights are best protected when you have an attorney who has handled similar cases and understands the practical realities of your defense. Geherin Law Group, PLLC, uses board-certified knowledge and experience to give you clear advice and practical strategies. Call us for strategic and confident representation, from arraignment through post-conviction options.
The sooner you hire an attorney after an arrest or investigation, the stronger your defense will be – especially when you work with a board-certified criminal trial attorney. Early involvement gives your lawyer plenty of opportunity to gather evidence and address the prosecution’s case before it gains momentum.
Relying solely on a public defender can be difficult. Public defenders are often skilled attorneys, but they also have heavy caseloads that limit the time and resources they can devote to each client. A board-certified attorney at a private practice can give focused attention to your unique case. This focus gives you the benefit of careful review and preparation for whatever comes next.
Most importantly, delayed legal representation often means losing valuable opportunities. Pretrial decisions are made quickly. Evidence can be challenged, and exculpatory evidence can be preserved. Plea negotiations often begin before trial preparation is complete. When you get Geherin Law Group, PLLC, involved right away, however, you give yourself the best chance to shape your defense and work toward the most favorable resolution possible.
