Consider taking your expert witness business to the next level in 2019 and apply for FEWA’s Certified Forensic Litigation Consultant (CFLC) credential. The CFLC credential promotes a greater level of confidence for your clients while positioning one ahead of fellow experts in the same discipline without the credential. It’s now required that CFLC applicants and current CFLC’s looking to recertify must pass the CFLC Certification Exam, in additional to continuing education and professional involvement, to qualify for the designation. Consider taking the next step to get certified — and put yourself above the rest. Learn more at www.forensic.org/certification or contact the FEWA National Office to get started.

ATTENTION to current CFLC’s who are due to expire this year — you must take the exam and submit your recertification application before December 31, 2018.
