Follow the rules

Tampa attorney Bruce Lamb has carved a successful niche in a growing area of health care law: helping doctors and hospitals comply with the ever-growing number of state and federal rules.
Recently, he stood out in another way. Lamb was one of 56 lawyers in Florida, and the only one from the Gulf Coast, to receive board-certified status in State and Federal Government and Administrative Practice (SFGAP) Law through the Florida Bar Association.

This inaugural class is one of the first in the nation certified in the specialty of state and federal government and administrative law. As a board-certified attorney, Lamb becomes a recognized expert in his specific legal field.

The bar established the certification in response to the ever-increasing complexity of rulemaking, licensing and regulatory matters and the fact that state and federal government law and administrative practice differ significantly from other areas of the practice.
