The Office of the State Attorney - 16th Judicial Circuit is proud to congratulate felony prosecutor Val Winter for becoming a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney as designated by the Florida Bar. Winter, who has been with the Office of the State Attorney for nine years, became eligible to sit for the exam this March only after overcoming the rigorous standards of qualification. The task included being recommended by peers and completing extensive professional requirements.
"This is an outstanding achievement and no easy feat to accomplish," offered Chief Assistant State Attorney Manny Madruga. "In Florida less than 1% of lawyers are board certified. Now the folks at the Florida Bar know what we have known down here for years. Val is a great attorney."
"I'm proud to have Val as part of our talented staff of prosecutors, and his efforts to accomplish this serves as an example to us all," said State Attorney Dennis Ward.
Winter adds this to his certification by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, which he recently achieved in June.
