When selecting an attorney for a spinal cord injury (SCI) case caused by a serious accident, truck collision, rollover, fall, industrial incident, or other catastrophic event, decades experience and credentials matter. Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS) is one of the most prestigious distinctions a trial lawyer in Texas can earn, signifying exceptional legal skill, extensive courtroom experience, and unwavering ethical standards.
Among the elite 1% of attorneys in Texas who have earned this certification are David P. Willis and Robert E. Ammons. Their decades of legal excellence and trial success set them apart as top advocates for spinal cord injury victims, securing significant compensation for clients facing life-altering injuries.
Achieving Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law is not just a one-time achievement—it requires ongoing proof of expertise, trial experience, and commitment to legal excellence. Attorneys who earn this distinction must meet strict qualifications, including:
Attorneys must demonstrate a history of successfully handling complex injury cases, including spinal cord injuries resulting from truck crashes, workplace accidents, and defective products.
Board Certification is granted only to attorneys who receive outstanding recommendations from judges and fellow lawyers, acknowledging their expertise and ethical reputation.
Attorneys must pass a rigorous written examination covering personal injury law, liability, damages, trial procedures, and advanced litigation strategies.
Board certified attorneys must remain at the forefront of evolving laws, regulations, and legal strategies, ensuring they provide clients with cutting-edge representation.
Unlike general law licensure, Board Certification requires ongoing proof of legal excellence every five years.
Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating and costly medical conditions, often leading to lifelong paralysis, loss of independence, and extensive medical care needs.

Choosing the right attorney is one of the most critical decisions an SCI victim can make. Spinal cord injuries often result from serious accidents, such as:
