Why Choose Board Certified

Mark of Excellence

Board Certification is a mark of excellence and a distinguishing accomplishment.
Within the Texas legal community, Board Certification means an attorney has substantial, relevant experience in a select field of law as well as demonstrated, and tested, special competence in that area of law.

A Distinguished Few

There are more than 70,000 attorneys licensed to practice in Texas. Only 7,000 are Board Certified.
Board Certified lawyers earn the right to publicly represent themselves as a specialist in a select area of the law. In fact, they are the only attorneys allowed by the State Bar of Texas to do so. This designation sets them apart as being an attorney with the highest, public commitment to excellence in their area of law.
The process is voluntary and can only take place after an attorney has been in practice for five years, with a minimum of three years experience in the specialty area.
Moreover, Board Certification is not a one-time event. It requires an ongoing involvement in the specialty area which is periodically substantiated with references from peers in that field.

San Antonio Catholic Priest accused of sex assault on child and murder for hire




A San Antonio Catholic priest who  was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a 16 year old teenage boy in 2008, was arrested again last week in Dallas on charges of trying to hire someone to a hitman to kill his accuser.
Father John M. Fiala, was in Dallas County Jail on a charge of solicitation to commit murder and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Sports Law



Former LSU Lineman Suing Lloyd's over $2Million Dollar Insurance Policy
Former Louisiana State University offensive lineman Ciron Black is seeking $4 million in a lawsuit claiming that underwriters at Lloyd's of London did not pay an insurance policy he bought before a career-ending knee injury.
In a federal lawsuit filed Oct. 29, Black said he was projected as a first-round NFL pick before the 2009 season. After the season, he was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection. He also received the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is given to the SEC's top offensive lineman.
Black hurt his knee in a Nov. 7 game against Alabama, was not drafted by any NFL team and was told by doctors on April 20 that his career was over, the lawsuit said.
"He' s told he can't play football again," Black's attorney, Patrick Jackson, told The Advocate. "To suddenly not be able to play football, you can imagine how devastating that is for any young man who had his sights on a career in the NFL."
Jackson said the suit is aimed against underwriters that were supposed to insure Black against a career-ending injury. Jackson said Black paid $14,758 in premiums for a $2 million policy. The suit also seeks $2 million in additional damages for failing to act in "good faith and fair dealing."
