Founding Partner of Johnson Ritchey Family Law Achieves Board Certification in Marital and Family Law

Boca Raton, FL (May 29, 2025) – Johnson Ritchey Family Law is proud to announce that Founding Partner Caroline Johnson has been officially board certified in Marital and Family Law by The Florida Bar, an achievement that reflects the highest level of recognition by the state’s legal authority for competence and professionalism in a specialty field of law.
Board certification is a voluntary program established by the Florida Supreme Court to identify lawyers who have demonstrated special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in their area of practice, along with professionalism and ethics in the practice of law. Only about 5% of eligible Florida Bar members- fewer than 5,000 attorneys statewide- hold board certification in any legal specialty.
“Being board certified in Marital and Family Law signifies that Caroline Johnson has been evaluated for professionalism and tested for expertise at the highest level,” said Christen Ritchey, co-founding partner. “This distinction represents years of commitment to our clients, continued legal education, and leadership in the field of family law.”
For clients, working with a board-certified specialist means having an advocate whose expertise and integrity have been independently validated.
“This recognition reaffirms Johnson Ritchey Family Law’s commitment to delivering exceptional representation with compassion and integrity, with a depth of knowledge in family law matters,” Ritchey said.
