What is a CELA?
Elder law attorneys may pursue certification by the Board of Certification of the National Elder Law Foundation (NELF). The purpose of the certification program is to identify those lawyers who have the expansive knowledge, skills, experience and proficiency to be properly identified to the public as certified elder law attorneys. The Certification process requires the attorney to pass a 6 hour examination and to demonstrate, through documented cases handled, that she has extensive experience in all areas of elder law.
