Jury trials are quickly becoming a thing of the past even though the jury trial is so important to our democracy and part of the US Constitution.

Let me start by saying both Chad Points and Tony Denena, the two founding partners of Denena & Points, P.C. are both Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This makes our firm very unique among other litigation law firms. Several mountains must be climbed to receive this distinction but the one part of it I want to discuss in this article is the necessity of trying lawsuits to jury verdict. The right to a trial by jury is paramount to preserving our democracy and is guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution and most state constitutions, including Texas.

Preposterous laws, labeled as tort reform, have actually taken right after right away from the citizens of our country and especially here in Texas. These slanted laws have played a substantial role in causing legitimate cases that should be filed not to be filed. Also, these unfair laws cause many lawyers to shy away from the courthouse. Simply put, many cases are settled by lawyers when that particular case should actually be tried to a judge and jury at the courthouse. A settlment lawyer will often rationalize that tort deform has changed attitudes and made it impossible for a plaintiff to win at the courthouse. Not so.

At Denena & Points, P.C. we are not afraid of the courthouse. In fact, we would rather be there trying a lawsuit than in the office anyday.
