Partner Keri P. Ebeck Becomes Certified in Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification

In 2020, Ebeck was named to the list of The Best Lawyers in America© and was also named to the Lawdragon 500 Leading U.S. Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers List. She is a member of the Legal League 100, the Allegheny County Bar Association, Judith K. Fitzgerald Bankruptcy Inns of Court, American Legal & Financial Network, International Women’s Insolvency & Restructuring Confederation – Pittsburgh Chapter, the Turnaround Management Association, and ALFN’s Bankruptcy and Women in Legal Leadership Committees.

The path to ABC certification is a process that takes more than a year and requires 30% of practice time devoted to bankruptcy-related matters, a Short Form Application, a Long Form Application, nine references from attorneys (including five from those against you in bankruptcy matters), a 6-hour test, a minimum of 60 hours of CLEs within 36 months prior to date of the Long Form Application, verification of grievance history, 400 hours of practice in bankruptcy-related matters during the last 3 years, and 30 adversary proceedings or contested matters in Chapter 7, 9, 11, 12, or 13 cases.

Bernstein-Burkley is committed to supporting all eligible attorneys to become ABC certified, with the goal for across-the-firm certification by 2025.
