Why Hire a Board Certified Attorney?

Houston Personal Injury Lawyer

Not all law firms have even one attorney that is Board Certified in the area of Personal Injury Trial Law. Achieving this certification is an arduous process, and requires meeting a great number of qualifications. When making a decision about what Houston personal injury attorney to select to represent your case, this factor can be significant with regard to the actual quality and training of your attorney. At Kennedy Hodges, LLP, our principal attorneys, David W. Hodges and Gavin B. Kennedy, are both seasoned trial lawyers that have achieved Board Certification and keep fully up to date on current state and federal law, current case law that could affect the your settlement or verdict, and have passed all evaluations by our peers with regard to our abilities in injury cases.

Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law: Kennedy Hodges, LLP

Many cases are settled prior to trial; this does not mean that an attorney should allow a client to accept a settlement offer that is inadequate, based upon the degree of the injuries they have suffered, as well as the long term effects of their lives, work and finances. Many attorneys prefer the fast and easy route, and urge their clients to accept offers that we may consider to be pitifully low. When we take on a case, we prepare it as if we are going to trial, and our well-documented and presented cases usually raise a red flag with insurance companies - they do not want to go to trial.

We then engage in a strategic negotiation with the insurance company. We press further, and if we don't get satisfaction from them in a timely manner, we move forward with a lawsuit against them and address the matter in civil court. If they are difficult, refuse to pay our client what is deserved, or deny claims that have real merit, we take the case to court and battle head-to-head. We know what we are doing at trial, and are proud of our many victories in difficult injury cases. We believe that our experience and Board Certification, as well as our many victories for our clients is the best recommendation if you are seeking a personal injury lawyer to represent you in an claim, no matter how complex or difficult it may appear. Even cases that were turned down by other firms due to their complexity may be potential winners, and deserve a review by our talented trial law team.
