When choosing a personal injury lawyer after a serious accident, experience and results matter—but so does certification. At Attorney Brian White Personal Injury Lawyers, we’re proud to share that Attorney Brian White is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS). This distinction reflects a deep commitment to excellence, professionalism, and proven results in the courtroom.
But what does board certification mean, and why should it matter to you when selecting an attorney? Here’s what you need to know.
What Does It Mean to Be Board Certified?
Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is a prestigious legal credential that sets an attorney apart.
It means that the lawyer has:
- Demonstrated substantial experience in a particular area of law
- Passed a rigorous written exam
- Received judicial and peer references attesting to their competence and ethics
- Committed to continuing legal education at a higher level than other attorneys
While any licensed attorney can technically practice personal injury law in Texas, only a select few have the skill and qualifications to become Board Certified.
How Rare Is Board Certification in Texas?
Texas has more than 100,000 licensed attorneys, but as of now, less than 5% of personal injury attorneys are Board-Certified in any area of law. Even fewer are certified in Personal Injury Trial Law, the specific area in which Brian White holds certification.
This means that when you work with Brian White, you’re choosing a legal professional in the top tier of personal injury attorneys statewide. His Board Certification is not just a title—it’s proof of a higher standard in legal skill, knowledge, and dedication.
What Does It Take to Become Board Certified?
Board Certification isn’t handed out to just anyone. The process is extensive and takes years of effort, both in and out of the courtroom.
To earn certification in Personal Injury Trial Law, an attorney must:
- Be licensed for at least five years and actively practicing law
- Spend a minimum of three years with substantial involvement in personal injury trial law
- Have handled a significant number of personal injury cases, including trials
- Submit professional references from judges and fellow attorneys
- Pass a day-long written exam covering all aspects of personal injury trial law, legal ethics, and procedural rules
- Commit to ongoing continuing legal education (CLE) far beyond standard requirements
This process ensures that a Board Certified attorney is not just experienced, but exceptionally well-qualified and committed to maintaining their expertise.
Why Board Certification Matters for Injury Victims
If you’ve been seriously injured due to someone else’s negligence, your future may depend on the lawyer you hire. You’re dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, lost wages, and mounting medical bills. The stakes are high, and you deserve a lawyer who meets the highest standards of competence and integrity.
