Nixon Shefrin is proud to count attorneys both past and present as holding membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates, ABOTA. The preservation of the civil jury trial as guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment is the primary purpose of ABOTA. Membership is bestowed upon attorneys “who display skill, civility and integrity, to help younger attorneys achieve a higher level of trial advocacy and to educate the public about the vital importance of the Seventh Amendment.” Membership in ABOTA is an honor, and Nixon Shefrin is proud of Peter Pryor, Irving (Irnie) Johnson, David Karr and Scott Nixon for their commitment to the work and ideals of this wonderful organization.
