Pete Zemanian, who leads the firm, was the first
attorney in southeastern Virginia to be certified as a business
bankruptcy specialist by the American Board of Certification, a national
trade organization that is accredited by the American Bar Association.*
He has qualified as an expert in federal and state court proceedings on
a number of topics related to bankruptcy, foreclosures and the
collection of delinquent accounts.
Peer recognition is perhaps
the most reliable method for measuring professional talent, and Pete
Zemanian enjoys the universal respect of his colleagues. He has served
as the 2006-2007 chair of the board of governors for the bankruptcy
section of the Virginia State Bar, and is a founding member and past
president of the Tidewater Bankruptcy Bar Association. He is included in
the "Legal Elite", which is an annual survey of attorneys throughout
Virginia conducted by the Virginia Bar Association and Virginia Business
magazine. Pete Zemanian also is listed in
The Best Lawyers in America ® 2008 (copyright by Woodward/White, Inc., Aiken, SC), the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States.
There
are currently no procedures adopted by the Virginia State Bar or courts
of the Commonwealth for approving certifying organizations.
