History
Maureen Duignan has been actively involved in criminal trial law for the past 32 years. She has been she sworn in to the Supreme Court of the United States of America, a distinction held by very few criminal defense attorneys in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, and has served as a Florida Bar Criminal Trial Board Certified attorney since 1990. As of August 2015, Duignan is the only female certified in criminal trial for the First Judicial Circuit, which encompasses Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa & Walton counties. Only 6% of all eligible Florida lawyers are board certified in their field, and less than 1% are board certified in criminal trial law. The Board of Legal Specialization and Education has consistently re-recertified her expert credentials in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and re-certification for 2015 is currently pending before the Florida Bar. Since becoming a sole practitioner in January 2014, Maureen Duignan now focuses 100% on criminal defense and expungements.
