The American Board of Criminal Lawyers (ABCL) was founded in 1978 in San Francisco, California, as an exclusive honorary society for criminal defense lawyers. Since its beginnings, the ABCL has expanded to include approximately 200 criminal defense lawyers across the United States.
The mission of ABCL is to protect the preservation and exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms for those accused of crimes while promoting excellence in the practice of criminal defense.
Lawyer Legion maintains a national directory of criminal defense lawyers which includes both ABCL members and non-members. To help the public find the best choices when searching for a criminal defense attorney, Lawyer Legion recognizes attorneys for their involvement and leadership within the ABCL and other professional associations. This includes recognition for ABCL fellows who have updated their Lawyer Legion profile with information about their involvement with the ABCL.
