COLUMBUS, OHIO — The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) is pleased to announce that J. Scott Bowman of the law firm GB Law has successfully achieved recertification as a Civil Trial Advocate.

Board Certification is the highest, most stringent, and most reliable honor an attorney can achieve. Board certifications are the only distinctions awarded by non-profit organizations.
