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

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Megan McLachlan

(PITTSBURGH) December 28, 2020 – This month, Bernstein-Burkley partner Keri P. Ebeck became certified in Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification. Bernstein-Burkley now has board-certified attorneys in every ABC certification area (Consumer Bankruptcy Law, Business Bankruptcy Law, and Creditors’ Rights) and has more board-certified business bankruptcy and creditors’ rights specialists in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania than any other law firm.

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.
