WALNUT CREEK, CALIF., January 10, 2012 – Archer Norris is pleased to announce that the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) has selected Archer Norris Special Counsel Allan L. Isbell for membership in its San Francisco Chapter.

ABOTA is an exclusive and prestigious national organization of civil trial lawyers. Its mission is to protect the Constitutional right to trial by jury in civil cases, to defend the integrity and independence of the American judicial system, and to promote effective trial advocacy. ABOTA’s membership constitutes a “Who’s Who” of trial lawyers in the United States because only trial lawyers who have tried at least twenty civil jury trials to verdict even qualify for nomination. Because the members of the local ABOTA chapter, the local Executive Board, and the ABOTA National Board vote on whether to approve a new member, acceptance also constitutes peer recognition of trial acumen and professionalism.

Mr. Isbell has been practicing law for over 25 years, and has worked for Archer Norris as Special Counsel to the firm since 2005 in its Walnut Creek headquarters. He is an integral member of the Archer Norris “On Call Trial Counsel” team.
