What Difference Does It Make to Me if My Lake Jackson, TX Personal Injury Attorney is Board Certified?

A:

• To receive Board Certification in a specialized area of law, an attorney must satisfy rigorous standards and requirements. Certification goes well beyond the already tough standards that every Texas lawyer must meet. To become Board Certified, a lawyer must:
  
• Be an actual trial attorney;
• Be licensed to practice law for at least 5 years;
• Pass a peer review by fellow lawyers and judges;
• Pass a 6-hour written examination in the area of certification;
• Undergo regular Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars to keep up with the latest legal developments that might affect your case; and
• Demonstrate strong experience and involvement in the Certification field by handling a wide variety of matters in that area of law.
• Board Certified lawyers have demonstrated the highest public commitment to excellence in their legal fields. These few, select attorneys can offer their clients higher levels of service, education, and experience than non-Certified lawyers. Fewer than 1 in 10 out of the more than 80,000 lawyers in Texas possesses a Board Certification. These roughly 7,000 lawyers are scattered among 21 different Certification areas. So the number of Board Certified attorneys in any given Certification area remains comparatively miniscule.

Chad Points and Tony Denena stand proudly among the few Board Certified Personal Injury attorneys in the entire State of Texas. They possess both Board Certifications in their fields and years of practical experience handling client cases. Their Certifications give Denena & Points advantages over less select and experienced lawyers. When you turn to the Texas Board Certified attorneys of Denena & Points, you're giving yourself a decided edge in your accident claim.
