What It Means to Be a Board-Certified Family Law Specialist in North Carolina
In North Carolina, there are approximately 24,000 attorneys. Just over 1.1 percent of them are board-certified specialists.
At Ellis Family Law, we have several attorneys who are certified as specialists in family law by the North Carolina State Board of Legal Specialization.

What does it mean to be a certified family law specialist? Board certification is a helpful guidepost for legal consumers with dozens of law firms to choose from but no clear idea of what makes one attorney stand out from the rest. Any attorney can claim to be knowledgeable or experienced. Board certification, however, is a concrete qualification backed by a rigorous set of standards.
In an ever-changing legal area such as family law, attorneys need to stay abreast of legal changes. Certified specialization is a benchmark that verifies the attorney has met strict standards regarding knowledge, education, experience and reputation.
Gray Ellis, Autumn D. Osbourne, and Amanda C. Knight are each board-certified specialists in family law by the North Carolina State Board of Legal Specialization.
