Bozanic Law’s Zeljka Bozanic Is Board Certified in Florida Criminal Trial Law – Guest Post

What Board Certification Means in Florida

Zeljka Bozanic of Bozanic Law holds Board Certification in Criminal Trial Law from The Florida Bar, a distinction that fewer than seven percent of all Florida attorneys have earned in any practice area. Board Certification is the highest level of evaluation of competency and experience that The Florida Bar offers, and it signals to clients and peers alike that an attorney has met rigorous standards in their field.

To become Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law, an attorney must demonstrate substantial trial experience, pass a written examination, receive peer reviews from other attorneys and judges, and meet continuing legal education requirements that go beyond what is required for standard bar membership. Maintaining the certification requires ongoing compliance with these standards.

Why Board Certification Matters for Criminal Defendants

When someone is charged with a crime in Florida, the stakes are high. Convictions can result in prison time, probation, fines, a permanent criminal record, and collateral consequences that affect employment, housing, and personal relationships. Choosing a criminal defense attorney is one of the most consequential decisions a defendant will make.

Board Certification provides an objective benchmark for evaluating attorney competence. While any licensed attorney in Florida can accept criminal cases, a Board Certified attorney has been vetted by The Florida Bar itself and found to possess the knowledge, skill, and experience necessary to handle criminal matters at a high level.

For defendants trying to evaluate their options, Board Certification is a meaningful differentiator. It is not a marketing label or a self-declared specialty. It is an earned credential that requires ongoing demonstration of expertise.

Bozanic Law’s Approach to Criminal Defense

Bozanic Law handles a wide range of criminal matters in Florida, from misdemeanor offenses to serious felonies including drug charges, violent crimes, white-collar offenses, and sex crimes. Zeljka Bozanic brings her Board Certified expertise to every case, applying a defense strategy that is tailored to the specific facts and circumstances involved.

The firm’s approach emphasizes thorough case investigation, strategic motion practice, and a willingness to go to trial when it serves the client’s best interests. Many criminal cases are resolved through negotiation, but the strength of a defense often depends on the prosecutor’s belief that the defense attorney is prepared and able to try the case if necessary.

A Credential That Clients Can Rely On

In a field where marketing claims can be hard to verify, Board Certification stands out as a credential backed by The Florida Bar’s own evaluation process. For anyone facing criminal charges in Florida, Bozanic Law offers the combination of Board Certified expertise and a hands-on approach to defense.

Potential clients can verify Zeljka Bozanic’s Board Certification status through The Florida Bar’s website and can reach out to Bozanic Law for a consultation to discuss their case.
