Why hire a Board Certificated attorney?
What does "Board Certified" really mean?
Our principal attorneys, David W. Hodges and Galvin B. Kennedy, are both Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. They are two of only 1,740 lawyers currently Board Certified in this category, as achieving this status is an arduous process requiring skill and dedication. When you need a Houston car accident lawyer, being represented by a Board Certified attorney gives you the peace of mind that you are in trusted hands. In order to achieve and maintain this certification, attorneys must:
- Have been licensed to practice law for at least five years
- Devote a specific percentage of their practice to personal injury law for at least three years
- Address a wide variety of matters within this field in order to demonstrate experience and involvement
- Regularly attend continuing education seminars in order to remain current on their legal training
- Be evaluated by their peers, including fellow lawyers and judges
- Pass a 6-hour written examination
- Apply for recertification every five years
