to become
00:05
board certified in texas
00:08
it’s a process that involves number one
00:11
having trial experience you have to have
00:14
tried i think it’s
00:16
you know at least 20 jury trials
00:20
you also have to get recommendations
00:23
from both
00:24
judges who you’ve practiced in front of
00:26
as well as defense attorneys and other
00:28
attorneys
00:30
that have worked with you additionally
00:33
there is a
00:34
a board certification exam that
00:39
you have to take and pass and
00:42
after you’ve gone through this process
00:45
the texas board of legal specialization
00:48
reviews your history and then determines
00:52
whether or not
00:53
you should be deemed board certified in
00:56
personal injury trial law and i believe
00:58
it is either you know one or two percent
01:01
of all practicing attorneys in texas
01:04
have that certification so for a client
01:07
who
01:08
has a personal injury case
01:13
hiring an attorney with that
01:15
specialization and those credentials
01:18
is important because a you know they
01:20
have done it before
01:22
and b you also are a known commodity
01:25
both
01:26
down at the courthouse with the judges
01:28
and the defense attorneys but also the
01:30
insurance carriers that ultimately are
01:32
the ones who
01:32
are evaluating your clients cases so
01:35
having
01:36
that type of representation i think
01:39
changes the
01:40
outcome for a lot of clients
