What does it mean when an attorney is a “North Carolina Board Certified Specialist in Social Security Disability Law”?
The laws governing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are complex. Therefore, the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization of the North Carolina State Bar started certifying lawyers as Board Certified Specialists in 1987. These individuals are recognized by the North Carolina State Bar as having special knowledge and proficiency in Social Security Disability Law. North Carolina is one of only 18 states to offer a legal certification program.
